(  ) jamespurcell | Dec 6, 2008 | Anne McCaffrey may be best known for her Dragonriders of Pern, but the "Talent" series is my favorite. In the future, humanity has developed telekinetic, telepathic and other extra-sensory abilities. Rowan is the most powerful telepath yet, this is her story. (  ) jshillingford | Jun 27, 2007 | This is set in a universe where psionic abilities are utilised in a commercial sense, and have guilds and organisations set up around them. People use teleportation for space travel, and telepathy for communication, all that sort of thing. They are graded on ability, and the most talented can do the move the spaceship trick. The book follows a young girl of this variety, of course. http://notfreesf.blogspot.com/2007/02... (  ) bluetyson | Feb 19, 2007 | I also loved this book when I read it aged about 10 or 11. After re-reading it now i'm older, It's not as good as I remember. Why isn't it classified as children's fiction? (  ) orangefraggle | Aug 9, 2006 |  ingen anmeldelser | legg inn en anmeldelse
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0930435680, Audio Cassette)Told in the timeless style of Anne McCaffrey, "The Rowan" is the first installment in a new and wonderful trilogy. This is sci-fi at its best: a contemporary love story as well as an engrossing view of our world in the future.The kinetically gifted, trained in mind/machine gestalt, are the most valued citizens of the Nine Star League. Using mental powers alone, these few Prime Talents transport ships, cargo and people between Earth's Moon, Mars' Demos and Jupiter's Callisto. An orphaned young girl, simply called The Rowan, is discovered to have superior telepathic potential and is trained to become Prime Talent on Callisto. After years of self-sacrificing dedication to her position, The Rowan intercepts an urgent mental call from Jeff Raven, a young Prime Talent on distant Deneb. She convinces the other Primes to merge their powers with hers to help fight off an attack by invading aliens. Her growing relationship with Jeff gives her the courage to break her status-imposed isolation, and choose the more rewarding world of love and family.
