Description

"It was a long, slow climb, eight blocks north and three kilometers straight up, with the Peaceforcers gaining on him all the way. A small fleet of AeroSmiths followed the lead pair: nearly fifteen cars full of Peaceforcers. Trent's teeth ached; Garon and the car with him had their sonics on him." (Book jacket)Few of the telepaths survived the massacre by the United Nations Peaceforce. Seven years later, the last telepaths, Denice and Trent, are marked by the Peaceforce, and will die unless show more Trent can carry out his plan to avenge the deaths of his friends. show less

Second of a series, it's the best written volume and stands well on its own. Mythical scope and language and unforgettable characters in mid-21st Earth and Luna. Fantastic descriptions of both telepathy, ai cyber-war, and characters that are just terminally COOL.
Hard to find in print - author never made the big time. Digital versions now available however, and the author is slowly (oh so slowly) still releasing chapters of a prequel series on Patreon.
Trent, thought to be one of the Castanaveras telepaths that caused the Troubles and drove tens of thousands of people instantly crazy, is at the top of the U.N.'s most wanted list. The problem is, while genetically perfect, Trent is not a telepath, and just wants to live a quiet life as a master thief. Now that one of the U.N. Peacekeeper Elite cyborg officers is on his trail, Trent is forced to run and maybe, just maybe, pay the Peacekeepers back for the cold-blooded murder of everyone he knew and loved.
This book is fast paced, funny and occasionally thought provoking. It is a nice easy read. It is also my all time favorite. I actually own two copies, one is a limited edition hardcover. I have read this book easily over a dozen times.
