This is the story of a lie that became the most powerful kind of truth. A timeless novel as urgently compelling as War Day or Alas, Babylon, David Brin's The Postman is the dramatically moving saga of a man who rekindled the spirit of America through the power of a dream, from a modern master of science fiction.

He was a survivor—a wanderer who traded tales for food and shelter in the dark and savage aftermath of a devastating war. Fate touches him one chill winter's day when he borrows the jacket of a long-dead postal worker to protect himself from the cold. The old, worn uniform still has power as a symbol of hope, and with it he begins to weave his greatest tale, of a nation on the road to recovery.

Intervention sets the scene for Julian May's new trilogy of the Galactic Milieu. This has been split into two books: The Surveillance (containing Prologue, The Surveillance, and The Disclosure) and The Metaconcert, containing The Intervention and Epilogue.

For 60,000 years, the five races of the Galactic Milieu have watched and waited for the time when human mental development on Earth is ready for the Intervention. As the twentieth century draws to its end, phenomenal mental powers are displayed by 'operants' all across our planet. They can 'farspeak' one another telepathically. They can build mental shields, and they are capable of coercion by power of mind.

One of them is Rogatien Remillard, a dealer in secondhand books, whose memories—written a century on—form the core of this chronicle. They tell of a world where the mind has become a weapon, and of two brothers, each possessed of extraordinary powers—one a peace-bringer, the other an advocate of evil.
