Crossways

Implanted at birth with psi enhancing
technology to enable techies to locate valuable resources for mega-corps, Cara
Carlinni the Telepath and Ben Benjamin
the Navigator did the unimaginable when they saved thousands of people
instead of handing over the platinum find to the galaxy-spanning business
entities. Giants like Alphacorp and the
Trust need to make an example of this rebellious pair to other psi-techies;
preferably dead but at least on trial for major crimes like terrorism and
murder.
The hunted felons and their surviving allies hide on Crossways
Station where they plan a brief respite before sailing the Solar Wind in search
of 30,000 lost in space settlers.
However the pair also know that once they leave Crossways they will be
in the crosshairs of those wanting to collect the dead or alive bounty.
The second Psi-Tech thriller is a
tremendous, timely science fiction tale starring courageous David and Davidette
battling against Goliath. The keys to
this action-packed space opera are the Bedford galaxy (with heroes, villains,
fence-sitters and innocent victims) that comes across as real and the
psi-technology seems genuine. Although
it behooves the audience to have read Empire of Dust to better understand why Ben and
especially Cara went rogue, Jacey Bedford authors a terrific tale with
apparently more to follow.
