A disjointed and confusing novel about the emergance of a new genetic line of Homo Sapiens. Telepaths, who appear to be the ancestors of time travellers. Who are popping in and out of the story and making things even more confusing. Story segments were not segued well and it felt very herky-jerky. I guess this is a series, but I won't be reading any more.

The worst thing, the very WORST thing, about adding my books here, is that the list of things I need to re-read keeps getting longer and longer. The three books in this series (Emerald Eyes, The Long Run, and The Last Dancer) are in that group. ( )

A friend loaned me this many, many years ago and I've had a hankering to reread it (and the following volumes) but it and the others are out of print and very hard to find. I recently discovered that Moran has made a number of his books, including this one, available as editions on his blog. I downloaded them immediately and enjoyed my reread of what is actually quite a bleak book about the genetic engineering of a line of telepaths and what happens to them. ( )

My brother-in-law has raved about the Tales of Continuing Time series, and after a few years of fruitless used book store searching, I finally broke down and bought two of the series at inflated prices through abebooks.com. This first book of the series is uneven. There's not much to the story, although several of the individual scenes are compelling, including a truly stunning car chase scene and a memorable final confrontation between the good guy and the bad guy. The protagonist Carl Castanaveras is an interestingly flawed superman, essentially serving a transitional role, bridging from a not-too-far-in-the-future post-war world into a farther-in-the-future world with mysterious time travelers, two surviving descendant telepaths, and a heroic hacker-thief. I assume that some combination of these characters will carry the story forward in the subsequent volumes. ( )
