Tim Rifat's formula for writing this stuff is to take some old fashioned magic and superstition, dress it all in a coating of technical sounding verbiage from a variety of disciplines to blind with science, and serve with a salad of paranoia and conspiracy theories, with a topping of motivational and management crap. Serve cold.
Thus when he is not extolling amazing Russian experiments in psychokinesis and mind control (how come these psychic supermen lost the Cold War, with their country left a poverty-stricken basket case?), Rifat regales us with his psychic battles with the dastardly MI5. The spooks it seems are not content with tapping his phone, like they do with ordinary folks. No! They are attacking him with their fiendish microwave weapons (yawn). Not to worry - our hero is fighting back and actually destroying their souls with his fantastic remote viewing psychotronic and psychokinetic powers. This is because Rifat is an important person who is revealing the amazing remote viewing secrets of the world's intelligence agencies.
I assume this book was written before September 11, which means he did not have to answer questions about why he (or any other so called psychic) didn't foresee it, and stop it with their superhuman powers. Could it be because private fantasies of grandeur and persecution have no impact on the real world after all? Better not be so sceptical in case Rifat puts a curse on you and turns you into an aardvark.
