The climax of the book represents the fulfillment of all his psychic, psychological, and physical potential, as he joins his special abilities to Beori's technological marvels to destroy the incorporeal invaders threatening to consume the planet, and set the Earth on a life-affirming path to the future. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
