DEFINITIONSTele- (Gk.tele: 'far'.)A telescope is an optical instrument which enlarges the
images of distant objects. For example: the surface of the
Moon may be viewed as from only a few hundred miles
away.Micro- (Gk. mikros: 'small'.)A microscope is an optical instrument which makes small objects visible to the human eye. Through a microscope, a drop of 'clear' water is seen to contain countless unsuspected micro-organisms.Necro- (Gk. nekros: 'a corpse'.)A necroscope is a human instrument which permits access to the minds of the dead. Harry Keogh is a necroscope - he knows the thoughts of corpses in their graves.The main difference between these instruments is this: the first two perform purely physical, one-way functions. They are incapable of changing anything. The Moon cannot look back through the telescope; the amoeba does not know it is under microscopic scrutiny.That's Harry Keogh's big problem: his talent seems to work both ways. THE DEAD KNOW - AND THEY WON'T LIE STILL FOR IT!
