Book Overview
Kiondili Wae considered herself lucky to land a job as a research assistant on Corson Station. And not just any job, but the project of her dreams: the development of a faster-than-light ship drive. Her special talents -- powerful telepathy and an uncanny flair for manipulating electromagnetic fields -- were particularly suited to the work at hand. And if the goal was reached, the federation of alien races that peopled the greater galaxy would finally accept humanity as a full member. But false accusations and misunderstandings plagued Kiondili from the moment of her arrival. Even the mental talents that had won her the job seemed to work against her, alienating her co-workers. Somehow she would have to show them -- that she could rise above it all, that she could fit in with the group, and most of all, that only she could make the FTL effort a success!

Hard to get into a first but a very good read, well worth the effort.

My Favorite Book of Ms. Harpers!
I absolutely loved this book and have read it many times. The sense of humor in it is absolutely wonderful. I still laugh when I re-read it (at least once a year), even though I know what is coming. I loved "Wolfwalker" and "Shadow Leader" too, but "Lightwing" is my favorite.

Interesting, funny, entertaining read.
All of Tara Harper's work is well-written with sympathetic characters and just the right amount of conflict. This one in particular is unusual from her other work in that it is strictly hard science fiction. But Tara really entertains in this little novel. A quick read, but wonderful and seamless in her storytelling. I thoroughly recommend it for one of those days you just want to get lost in a good story.
