A shorter version of this work appeared in the September and October 1959 issues of Astounding Science Fiction under the title, "That Sweet Little Old Lady."

Mark Philips was the pseudonym used for SF collaborations between Randall Garrett and Laurence M. Janifer. As Mark Philips, they produced three novels featuring FBI agent Kenneth J. Malone.

Malone lives in a world where psionic powers such as telepathy and teleportation exist. He must cope with them as well as an FBI Director who leaves Malone continually confused about what situation he is being asked to handle and what he is expected to do about it.

Brain Twister finds Malone charged with investigating leaks in a secret government program. For assistance, he recruits a powerful psi from a mental institution who believes she is Queen Elizabeth I of England. The problem is, she may be right. Brain Twister marries SF adventure with slapstick comedy for hilarious results. The original shorter version of this novel was nominated for a Hugo Award in 1960.
