power. This from the people who insult, abuse, mistreat, and cheat him and his kind
whenever possible. When Cat is sold into the slavery by the people he had only just
begun to trust and is then recruited by the feared Quicksilver he has to decide which side
he's going to choose. Whether he is going to join Quicksilver and have riches rather than
derision or whether he will risk his life and try to trick Quicksilver for the people who
betrayed him and the empath who was the only one who ever cared. Only.... While he is
there, he meets the other half of the family tree.

Fun, if fluffy reading, November 22, 2001
Reviewer:
This story explores the use of the telepathy rather nicely. Mrs. Vinge imagines a
compelling plot and her characters are original and many-dimensional.
Unfortunatly, Psion falls victim to a common trend in 1980s Science Fiction- cliches and
stupidity.
The author apparently feels compelled to stick certain things in the book, even if they
don't always fit. The hero's love intrest is taken by the hero's enemy, the hero is hurt
seriously and cared for by the love intrest, the hero kills someone, ect.
Also, Mrs. Vinge's book is a light read. There are plot twists, but the book doesn't make
on think. The subject of telepathy could be used to explore certain tendancies of human
nature, or privacy laws. But it isn't.
All in all, a well rounded book. Read it on vacation or on the beach. --This text refers to
