Book about telepathy I'm trying to remember

There was a book I read when I was a kid - maybe in the mid 80s - the central character of which was a telepathic guy named Daniel. He (like everyone else with the “gift”) had a malformed/oddly size pineal gland - and his telepathic gland had grown large enough so that he had a multitude of other problems - hemophillia, other stuff.

One of his mentors was from Israel - but I can’t remember her name.

I know this is a long shot - but any ideas?

Thanks.

Damnit! Take off the tinfoil hat, or I won’t be able to search your mind!

Tinfoil hat? Pah! Cecil Adams himself says you’d have to cover your entire body with tinfoil in order to create adequate shielding.

Unless you’re wearing Magneto’s telepathy-proof helmet, of course.

Was the book about him losing his powers? I think the protagonist of Silverberg’s Dying Inside was named David, and he had lots of problems.

Jack Of Eagles by James Blish ?

Except for the name, that sounds like The Whole Man by John Brunner. Here’s a link about it.

You rule.

I’ve been trying to remember what the hell this book was called for like 10 years. I’m sure I read it when I was 10 - so it’s been 20 years +.

And Daniel is really close to Gerald, right? I mean, almost the same name.

:dubious: :smack:

Thanks. :smiley:

You’re welcome ! :slight_smile:
