Esper by James Blish. Original Title: Jack of Eagles. First published in 1952 Chapter One WHISPERS IN THE EARTH DANNY CAIDEN was reasonably sure that there was nothing wrong with him. He had a n aver age in come , and en ough e duca tion t o hand le the p ackag ing sect ion of a food- indus try trade paper; even enough to write a poem or two on the side. Danny’s poetry was cer tainly not ve ry good y et, d espite the in terest the office aesthete took in it, but did serve as an out let for the way he felt on goo d day s an d bad ones. He was a little under si x feet, big-boned, with yellow hair, a friendly face with a nose that was slightly too large for it, and no obligations to anybody but himself. He was like many of the people in the world he occupied, and he liked both the people and the world. On the rare days when he got sick of writing enthusiastically about the latest way of wrapping something basically inedible so that people would eat it, his s tories beca me a little more acid than Henry Mall, the paper’s senior editor, would allow anyone’s s tories but his o wn to be, and he ha d a beer or so before going back to his room-and-a-half on 13 th Street. On the nights when he loved everybody and had Saturday or Sunday to look forward to, he had a lot of beers and slept until the next noon. A norm al gu y, D anny though t. He lay on his bed and wriggled his stockinged toes in the yellow lamplight. He had no anx iet ies, n o wo man trouble, no comp ulsi ve po litical convictions. He didn’t care who got elected this year or any year, and he didn’t even have a cold. But all the same , he was lying awake on his bed at three in the morning of a w ork-day, wondering why he had visions. He turned the word over a few times. It was so remote from his thinking vocabulary that it pr obab ly n eve r wo uld sound righ t to h im in an y context; but it wa s the o nly word that g ave him any handle at all for what had been happening to him. Actually, of course, what he had been having lately was voices—except that one didn’t “have” voices, and besides, they weren’t voices. They were just noises. Noises that he heard twice, once inside his head, and once outside. Like double vision. Double audition? There might just be such a term, but it didn’t sound right either. He wriggled his toes and went over the day for at least the eighth time, trying to see what there was about it that he had missed so far which would allow him to label the experience in familiar terms. Now then: He had come ou t of Childs after lunch, feeling a lit tle too f ull, and had started to turn the corner to go back to the office. He remembered being in the middle of a step; remembered wishing that his other suit would get back from the cleaners; remembered wishing that lunch-hour could be followed by another hour for a cat-nap. He remembered wondering whether or not the man fro m the oran ge -gr owers’ association would confirm that idiotic report that had come in from Food Chronicler’s Florida cor- respondent; and whether or not Mall would let Danny’s caption for the bread-eating campaign picture go through. It wouldn’ t be fair, after all, to l et the baking industry get away with brag ging about putting back into bread half of the nutrients they’d taken out of it, without at least a mild dig .. . Just around the corner, someone had screamed. There had been a shearing squeal of brakes and rubber. Then something metallic had hit something else. The impact was sudden and quickly over, almost as if a truck full brass ingots had been run off a high building. Then there were more screams, a dull boom, and . . . more screams, round and full and impossible to listen to. People were running. Danny had not run. He had stopped abruptly, and put his back against the cool concrete flank of the building. A month ago— about that— he had been coming around this same corner, and had heard
