"Mark Phillips" was the pseudonym of two well-known science fiction
writers: Randall Garrett and Laurence M. Janifer. Their joint
pen-name, derived from their middle names (Philip and Mark), was
coined soon after their original meeting, at a science-fiction
convention. Both men were drunk at the time, which explains a good
deal, and only one ever sobered up. A matter for constant
contention between the collaborators was which one. They
collaborated for some years, and devised an interesting method of
work: Mr. Garrett handled the verbs, the adverbs and the
interjections, Mr. Janifer the nouns, pronouns, and adjectives.
Conjunctions are a matter of joint decision, and in the case of a
tie, the entire game was replayed at Fenway Park, Boston, the
following year. Regardless of who wrote what, Brain Twister is a
highly enjoyable novel about spies and telepathy, as only two great
writers could have conceived it!
FBI Agent Kenneth Malone is back with another case, this one
involving a gang of car thieves that only steal Red 1972 Cadillacs.
The only problem is that the thief, or thieves as the case may be,
seem to have the ability to make themselves invisible. Of course
that's impossible, isn't it? But with the help of the usual
beautiful girl, Agent Boyd, and Queen Elizabeth I (Rose Thompson),
Malone finds himself hot on the trail of the impossible. CLASSIC
