They've been here for a long time--waiting. But they aren't exactly like us at all. Some of them can read minds, and in subtle ways take over what your are thinking, control you for a while.\u003cbr\u003eThey can make you love. \u003cbr\u003eThey can make you die.\u003cbr\u003eOne ordinary man in San Francisco, Arthur Banks, begins to find them out, and immediately his life and his family are in danger. It's a paranoid's worst nightmare. But that's just where it starts. He may well be fighting for the survival of the entire human race.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I've always maintained that Frank M. Robinson's \u003ci\u003eThe Power\u003c\/i\u003e was one of the best terror tales ever told. \u003ci\u003eWaiting \u003c\/i\u003eis even better, rich with character, suspense and constant surprise. This is one of the best chillers of the entire decade. It is guaranteed to give you nightmares.
