The search for Kalid tells the story of Leone's search for Kalid. At the start of the story, Leone is acting under the orders of his boss, Ketar, and Leone is totally unaware of the fact that the the Haldus Order is developing a science of telepathic communication. As the reader follows the story of Leone's search for Kalid, Leone's growing understanding of the Haldus Order is shown. In some cases, the reader is shown parts of the lives of other characters and so the reader often becomes aware of facts before Leone does. This allows the reader to enjoy the suspense of wondering if Leone will figure out what is going on in time to influence the struggle between the Haldus Order and Ketar for control of the technology for amplifying telepathic signals.

  • The search for Kalid tells the story of Leone's search for Kalid. At the start of the story, Leone is acting under the orders of his boss, Ketar, and Leone is totally unaware of the fact that the the Haldus Order is developing a science of telepathic communication. As the reader follows the story of Leone's search for Kalid, Leone's growing understanding of the Haldus Order is shown. In some cases, the reader is shown parts of the lives of other characters and so the reader often becomes aware of facts before Leone does. This allows the reader to enjoy the suspense of wondering if Leone will figure out what is going on in time to influence the struggle between the Haldus Order and Ketar for control of the technology for amplifying telepathic signals. At the start of the story, Leone is caught up in his own struggle against Set. Only slowly does Leone come to know the fact that Ketar is responsible for the destruction of the space elevators on Sakkara. The reader gets to wonder if Leone will ever recognize that his battle against Set was caused by Ketar. Only slowly does the reader learn why the Spaceship Guild and the Antiquist Party would purposefully destroy space elevators and infest planets with "green goo". The ultimate question in the story is if it is possible for an important scientific discovery (the existence of a science of telepathic communication) to be kept secret and, if so, how the power of that technology would be used. The story is constructed as a struggle between 1) the Haldus Order, which seeks to use telepathy altruistically and help keep peace in the galaxy and 2) others like Ketar and Set, who want to use telepathy for their own purposes. So, a central mystery of the story is the question: who will win this struggle for control of telepathic science and technology? For authors of the story, it is important to keep track of which characters know what during the course of the story, in particular, when does Leone find out what other characters know? In order to develop the mystery aspect of the story, it is important to keep track of when mysteries are first introduced to the reader and when the reader is finally able to solve each mystery. Several mysteries are introduced at the start of the story:
