Length: 14 hrs and 1 min

Publisher's summary

For an overpopulated Earth, whose resources are strained to the breaking point, there is only one place to look for relief: straight up. With the successful completion of the Padrugoi Space Station, humanity has at last achieved its first large-scale permanent presence in space. Additional bases are feverishly being built on the Moon and on Mars, stepping-stones to the greatest adventure in all history: the colonization of alien worlds.

Already, long-range telescopes have identified a number of habitable planets orbiting other stars. Now it's just a question of getting there.

But there are those who, for selfish motives of their own, want Padrugoi and the other outposts to fail - people who will stop at nothing to maintain their power or to avenge its loss. Standing in their way are the Talented, men and women gifted with extraordinary mental powers that have made them as feared as they are respected - and utterly indispensable to the colonization effort.

There is Peter Reidinger, a teenage paraplegic who is the strongest telekinetic ever, his mind capable of teleporting objects and people thousands of miles in the blink of an eye. Yet all his power cannot repair his damaged spine or allow him to feel the gentle touch of a loved one. There is also Rhyssa Owne, the powerful telepath and mother hen to Peter and the rest of her "children" - and a fierce, unrelenting fighter against the prejudice that would deny the Talented the right to lead happy and productive lives. And Amariyah, an orphan girl who loves two things in the world above all others: gardening and Peter Reidinger. And woe to anyone who harms either one of them - for the young girl's talent may prove to be the most amazing of all.

Now, as sabotage and attempted murder strike the Station, it's up to the Talented to save the day. Only, who's going to save the Talented?

Great Science fiction writing. Excellent narration. It made me look forward to the long commute in the car.

A great finish to Peter's story

This is the final book in the Pegasus trilogy. The beginning of FT&T. Peter's story is wonderful.

Need book 1 and 2!

If I had not already read this and its predecessors in print previously, I would have been totally lost. To Ride Pegasus and Pegasus in Flight are not available on Audible yet, and for a new listener, this book will be confusing. It does not stand alone.

Other than that, it is classic McCaffrey! The good guys are very good and the bad guys are awful! This series is prequel to the Tower series. The narration is excellent. Hopefully the other two books will be available soon.

Awesomesauce

I have read this book many times but hearing it truly touched my heart and made it even more dear to me. I cried, I laughed, and could stop smiling when it was over.

Space

As good as I remember, like revisiting old friends. Peter & Tirla, Amaryah & Dorotea, Ryssa & Johnny Greene. I’ve read the books over & over again & this audio version will be no different. 💕

One of my favorites

I loved this audiobook. It follows the printed book exactly! I cannont read my books while I am driving or at work, but I can certainly listen. I only with the other books in the "Talents" series were available for download.

loved it! it's a wonderful story. I listen to it often. the characters are great.

Fantastic

Absolutely loved it! Performance and story thrilled from start to finish and I highly recommend!

Great!!

Where is book 1 and 2? The talent series has always been one of my favorites, I'd like to get the other books on Audio.

Re-Listen

I always like the talents series, I re-listen every other year or so. This book and the Rowan books are very well done. I wish somebody would get the earlier books in unabridged format, the abridged earlier books aren't worth it.
