Maze. Larry Collins. 1989

While the CIA is doing its research into psychic powers - aided in their experiments by a woman who has the uncanny ability to locate the co-ordinates of Soviet submarines - the Russians have an altogether bigger and more sinister project in mind: developing a device that uses electromagnetic waves to trigger responses in the brains of unsuspecting victims. In the most deadly and secret struggle of the new cold war, the Russians set their sights on the US President and attempt to manipulate fanatical Islamic terrorists to play a role in their ambitious scheme. Only one man can stop them and avert a tragedy of terrifying proportions - CIA officer Art Bennington.
