David M Henley

It’s almost 150 years into the future and the earth’s population has been decimated by global warming and the resulting uprisings which have become known as the Second Dark Age. The Citizens now mostly live in huge domed megapolises protected from the elements. But since the Second Dark Age a new threat has arisen. The advent of psionic powers – such as telekinesis and telepathy - in an increasing number of people is threatening society. Supported by Services (a global organisation) and directed by the Weave, a form of the internet which has made connection and information instantly attainable, teams are forcibly detaining and exiling these psis.

Pierre Jnr becomes known to the world when an attempt is made to detain him with disastrous results. He has powers beyond anything ever seen before and those in power are aware that he could become the leader of a psi revolution.

I enjoyed this book. It was fast paced and Henley’s ideas for the future were interesting and almost believable in a future world. However, that same fast pace sometimes had me a little bit confused and left me wondering at times what had just happened, and to whom!

It looks like this is only the beginning of the story and I will be looking forward to the next one!… (mehr)
