Description

“McCaffrey's world of the Talented is as vivid as that of Pern and its dragons.”—Publishers Weekly

When a freak accident furnishes solid scientific proof of paranormal mental abilities, the world reacts with suspicion and fear. How can ordinary people coexist with a minority able to read minds, heal with a touch, peer into the future, or move objects with a thought? How can anyone with such power be trusted not to abuse it? Harsh repression seems the only answer

Gifted with precognitive talent, Henry Darrow has other ideas, foreseeing a future in which the Talents are accepted for what they are and not what they can offer their fellow humans. But the road to that future will not be easy. Darrow and the powerful telepath Daffyd op Owen must win the public's trust while overcoming the threat of rogue Talents like Solange Boshe, a young girl so consumed with hatred that her thoughts can kill, and the singer known as Amalda, whose telepathic prowess can unite a thousand strangers in joyful harmony—or mold them into a bloodthirsty mob. . . .

    Once this book is opened, there is but one place to stop, the last page of The Tower and the Hive. This book is spellbinding, very hard to put down, as with any of Anne McCaffrey's books.

    The beginnings of the talent series is a great take on what science fiction is all about. Taking the everyday emotions and quarrels of humanity, and by changing one aspect of our world, show the "what if". Anne McCaffrey is a talented author that has a knack for eerily portraying her characters to the audience in an instant and almost familial manor. This is a great book and I would recommend it to anyone, not to mention the rest of the series.
