  ers. Each volume includes commentary by a

  noted scholar or critic, and a selected bibliog-

  raphy.

  Masses of meaningless wire.

  Seeing-eye TV sets.

  Hidden tape recorders spinning

  subliminal suggestions.

  WITH EACH DISCOVERY, Murray Douglas' alarm grows.

  But it doesn't seem to affect the others.

  It's just Delgado's way, they say. He's an oddball genius who

  has concocted his own method of writing and
directing a

  play. All we want is an opportunity to act for him.

  But Murray Douglas wants to know why Manuel Delgado has

  searched the stages of the world for these particular actors.

  Why has he isolated them in an unused country club and

  played to their weaknesses? Why are they being proctored by

  the odd, silent servants? Who is Manuel Delgado and what's

  his game?

  Little do the actors realize that the play is not the thing. That

  it is barely a cover for one of the most astonishing and sur-

  real events ever to unfold. That they are puppets of a master

  intellect . . . pawns in the productions of time.
