Centuries ago, a prophet wrote of an approaching cataclysm: a worldwide rebellion in which millions will die. In 1968, a cult called the Society of the True Judgment is preparing to rise up and fulfill this prophecy in bloodshed and death... unless Ed Terwilliger can stop it. Ever since Ed's wife was murdered, his life has become a daily struggle against despair. When the old ceramic gnome in the garden starts talking to him, he fears that the last remnant of his sanity has finally slipped away. But Ed is not crazy-at least, not yet. The gnome is real, and it knows the truth about why Ed's wife was killed. To find out its secret, he will first have to join forces with it to defeat its old enemy: the leader of the Society, a powerful telepath who is raising an army to enslave the world.

As the war drags on in Vietnam, a mysterious man named Elmer Nosgrove has worked his way deep into Nixon's White House. Using the war as a distraction, Nosgrove has created a weapon that will enable him to overthrow the old order and rule over what's left of the world. And now that weapon has been stolen by someone even worse than Nosgrove. Ed Terwilliger, having narrowly escaped death on several occasions, would like nothing more than to settle down and forget his past. But his little group of followers, who call themselves Eddites, believe that it's Ed's destiny to lead them against the dark threat in Washington. As much as he'd like to avoid this fight, he knows that it's up to him to do something. To prevail, Ed will have to infiltrate Nixon's closest henchmen-known as the Plumbers-and find Nosgrove's lost weapon before its power is unleashed. THE MUSIC OF THE MACHINE is the sequel to FOREST OF THE MIND.
