Most people live in a basically agrarian culture, a sort of cross between the traditional medieval fantasy world and the Wild West. The world of Bujold’s Sharing Knife series is a difficult and dangerous one. I was recently reading a new “Sharing Knife” story by Lois McMaster Bujold, and it suddenly occurred to me that the relationship of Bujold’s Lakewalkers to Farmers is exactly that of Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders to Holders.īut let me back up a bit. But when the dust settled, Telzey would be the only one purring.Sorry about the delay between posts-I’ve been under the weather lately. They called it the "Lion Game," and they made the mistake of thinking that in this clash of predators, Telzey was just a harmless kitten.
It was fortunate for the human race that she survived, since she next found herself in the middle of a secret war between two hidden races of genetically engineered humans. Next, she stumbled across a telepathic serial killer, who used an unstoppable predator, under his mental control, to hunt and kill his victims - and Telzey was to be the catch of the day. Then, she had to fend off the secret psi agents of the Psychological Corps who took a dim view of any telepath, let alone one with Telzey's powers, operating outside of their control.
And she turned out to be one of the most powerful telepaths in the history of the galactic civilization called the Hub.įirst she had to deal with an alien race that humans hadn't realized were intelligent, and who were about to eliminate those troublesome humans who thought they were colonizing an uninhabited world. Not only a telepath, but a xenotelepath, able to communicate mentally not just with humans, but with alien intelligences.
Telzey Amberdon was only in her teens when she discovered that she was a telepath. And she turned out to be one of the most powe.
