About the Book
Tol, a young man of mysterious ancestry, must learn how the human mind functions in order to destroy those who´ve combined their naked brains with thirty-third century computers. Monsters in their arrogance and lust, these Minds rule the galaxy. They drive humanity to despair. After discovering his heritage, Tol battles with pirates, planetary rulers, a beautiful girl, and, most difficult of all, his own brain, before he can conquer the center of Imperial power.
REVIEWS
Mike Resnick, Hugo-winning and best-selling author says "MAN OVER MIND is an exceptionally promising first novel."
Dave Foster, author and proprietor of Top Tenn Press says: "An exciting Read. I am new to sci-fi, but not to the study of human brain-power and its relationship to creativity. Dean Warren offers the reader a great story plus an even greater insight into how the brain works. Warren´s hero Tol meets with event after event, each of which helps explain the brain´s intricate function. Tol displays the mark of a born leader by using his tremendous, logical brain-power in deadly combat with its silicone counterpart. This book may, or may not, foretell human life in the year 3300, even so, it tells me that I have been missing something. I´m becoming a sci-fi fan.
The May, 2002 issue of the Midwest Book Review says: Dean Warren´s Man Over Mind is a hard-core, well written science fiction saga about a young man pitted against horrible Minds, former human beings who merged their dissected brains with computers and reaped the power to rule the galaxy in utter depravity. The hero´s fight takes him across space and time and against the workings of his own brain before he can challenge the dread nexus of the Mind´s superhuman power. Man Over Mind is an exciting, whirlwind of an adventure tale and enthusiastically recommended reading for all SciFi buffs. Man Over Mind was selected as a finalist in the 2001, Foreward Magazine´s Book of the Year Award, Science Fiction and Fantasy category! 10/1/2002 ScribesWorld.com said: MAN OVER MIND is an excellently written book. Mr. Warren has developed an intriguing world in which all human beings are subject to the whims of a machine ruler with no choice but to obey or die. He pulls one into the story as Tol confronts the lessor minds, learning their weaknesses and slowly developing a desperate plan. It is a very well done story and well worth reading.About the Author
