Imaginative, Entertaining, And Different

A novel about mindreaders ("sensitives") who are assembled by the government to be used on assignments (as spies) to collect information on other individuals and foreign governments. This is an engaging read; I've never read anything quite like it. My only reason for not giving this book five stars is that I don't think the author mined enough gold from the rich lode he discovered. He could have done more fascinating things with the hero but, instead, had him playing cards for profit. Still a damn good read, though.

outstanding, innovative thriller

An outstanding introduction to the world of the Sensitives, who have the ability to "sense" the thoughts of others. Innovate thriller that blends sci-fi, espionage, and other genres together.
