They were people whose gifts were unique. For years - centuries - they had not even understood just what they could do with their minds. They had sometimes become astrologers, clairvoyants, or healers, but their Talents were undeveloped and untrained. Henry Darrow was the first to explore the huge wealth of psychic gifts hidden amongst mankind, and it was he who formed the first Parapsychic Centre where Talents could train and be used to revolutionise the world.

Page 127In one paragraph the second-wave protagonist is referred to, by the writer and by several other c...
Now this is a book I read many, many years ago, and while this cover doesn't match the edition I just read, it does match the cover I remember from many years ago. It's a collection of four short stories all centered about psionic talents in the late 20th early 21st century. This near-future (and ...
A great, well-written story marred by a heavy dose of profanity.
