Introduction

When Tom Rangely saw Dr. Baker disappear from the Philosophy one hour exam, he embroiled himself in both the personal and the political problems raised by a man's ability to separate his consciousness from his body and then materialize himself in a new location — teleportation. What happens when one teleports without his clothes? What happens if one unintentionally materializes in the middle of a Chinese Politburo meeting? What happens if someone discovers that he can kill by a mental stroke while he is disembodied? Is kissing improved as minds are merged? Is the Pentagon ready for Free Transport to Mars?
