Leevi soon realizes that he himself is not only one of them, but unusually gifted in the astral arts.From murderous autocrats and psychic spies to wandering ghosts and Mayan rain-gods, this story is full of wild characters in even wilder situations . The stakes are as high as they can be in this speculative fiction novel.The Teleporter is the debut novel from Finnish plumbing entrepreneur Jari Enckell.
