Psi-tech telepath Cara Carlinni is on the run from Alphacorp
because she is aware her former boss and one time lover Ari van Blaiden will
kill her once his goons catch up to her; as he wants no witnesses to the pirate
attack he arranged on a colony. Desperate
to avoid mind to mind detection and aware of withdrawal torment that will
probably kill her anyway, Cara still shut down the implant that the firm financed
in exchange for her being their indentured servant.
So far Cara eluded her ruthless pursuers on El Arish and Shalla
where an off the grid psi-much suggested she go Station Mirrimar 14, a place
with allegedly psi-tech rebels. Not only
has she failed to find her peers, Alphacorp arrives. Cara meets Reska Benjamin who agrees to take
her with his team of psi-techs to Olyanda to assist with colonization. Adding tension is many of the client
Ecolibrians loathes psi-techs and the discovery of mineral deposits places Olyanda
on pirate looting list.
The first Psi-Tech science fiction is an action-packed outer space
thriller in which the Bedford galaxy seems real. Filled with plenty of escapades mostly on a
world that comes across as genuine and starring a beleaguered woman in peril, a
haunted hero and a ruthless villain; readers will want to journey to Olyanda
where several rivals compete for control.
