For an overpopulated Globe, whose resources are strained to the breaking stage, there is only one place to look for comfort: directly. With the successful conclusion of the Padrugoi Space Place, humanity has at last achieved its first large-scale long term presence in space. Additional bases are feverishly being built in the Moon and on Mars, stepping-stones to the greatest adventure in every history: the colonization of alien worlds. Already long-range telescopes have identified several about Pegasus in Space habitable planets orbiting the stars and distant galaxies. Now it’s only a question to getting there. But you will find those that, for selfish motives of their very own, want Padrugoi and the other outposts to fail. People who will minimize at nothing to keep their power or even to avenge its loss. Standing within their way are the Talented, men and women gifted with remarkable mental powers which have produced them as feared as they are well known – and utterly indispensable to the colonization effort. There is certainly Peter Reidinger, a teenage paraplegic who’s the strongest telekinetic ever, his mind capable of teleporting items and people a large number of kilometers in the blink of an eyesight. However all his power cannot repair his damaged backbone or allow him to feel the gentle touch of someone you care about . Rhyssa Owne, the pwerful telepath and mother hen to Peter, and the rest of her “kids” – and a fierce, unrelenting fighter against the prejudice that could deny the Gifted the right to lead content and effective lives . . . and Amariyah, an orphan gal who loves two things in the world above all others: gardening and Peter Reidinger. And woe to anyone who harms either one of them – for the youthful girl’s skill may end up being the most beautiful of all. Right now, as sabotage and attempted murder strike the Station, it’s up to the Talented to save your day. Just, who’s likely to save the Skilled?
