DEFINITIONS

Tele- (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!
