Customer Reviews

Rest in Peace, Mr. Burkholz

I just read that Mr. Burkholz passed away today and am very saddened -- I loved all three "Sensitives" books. They're intellectual thrillers about a group of people with some mighty interesting abilities, but with a nice touch of political intrigue (undoubtedly taken from Mr. Burkholz's own work in politics). Brain Damage is my favorite -- an intricate, elaborate plot; characters that you care about; side stories that could be the central plot of a lesser book. Highly recommended, and I'm so sad that we won't get a fourth one.

You'll wish you were a Sensitive

This book shows some good scenes and dialogue, and the insertion of interesting and unexpected characters makes the book fun to read. Why did this go out of print? I imagine he could have continued the series quite well.
