The Psychic Tourist by William Little
Can someone's life be predicted? Are physicists on the verge of discovering the first time machine? And why does a Nobel prize-winning scientist believe that humans are capable of sensing danger before it happens? Following a prediction of his sister's death, William Little sets out to find the truth about the power of fortune telling and prophecy. On a journey that takes him to a witches' coven in a haunted wood, on the hunt for murderers with psychic detectives and to the doorsteps of the world's most powerful and revered psychics, William Little goes on a quest to find out whether people can see into the future - or if the many millions who consult horoscopes, listen to psychics on TV, or who read Nostradamus are simply being sold a lie.
'The characters here are a hootThere's the cliche-riddled, vague-talking gipsy Betsy Lee; Richard Dawkins, who'd love to find evidence for psychic power; Derren Brown, who admits he's not a mind-reader, just a psychological showman; Nobel laureates who think telepathy rests with quantum physics; war veterans who believe they're still alive thanks to lucky socks and superstitious rituals; the physicist who has dedicated his life to time travel. It's a read so digestible you could dunk it in your morning coffee.' -- London Lite
