Telekinetic

A Hyllis Family Story #1

By: Laurence E Dahners

Narrated by: Christopher Lane

Telekinetic is the first of a series of post-apocalyptic stories featuring the Hyllis family.

The collapse of civilization has reduced their people back to iron and horsepower. The Hyllises tend to inherit “tele-talents” such as telekinesis and teleportation. Tarc Hyllis’ mother (and his grandfather before her) could “feel” things with their talent. They became healers because they could feel inside their patients, which frequently let them diagnose the underlying causes of an illness. Having made a diagnosis, unfortunately, there was often little they could do to treat a problem.

Tarc’s father can “push” objects with his mind, but, because he can’t feel inside anything, he doesn’t know where to exert force in order to help to treat his wife’s patients. Tarc’s just gaining the ability to do both of these things. The combination of these two powers will let him both diagnose a physical problem such as internal bleeding, and then stop that bleeding by applying pressure inside the patient. His mother finds this development extraordinarily exciting. She has too often had to watch her patients die for lack of an effective treatment. Then some strangers show up to scout the town where the Hyllises live. They plan and initiate a violent takeover. Could Tarc’s powers, weak as they are, play a role in resisting this invasion?

It turns out he can guide a knife after it’s thrown...

Great Listen!

I love the books! This audio book really makes the story come alive! Great narration! Can’t wait for the next one!!

Viscerally stylized; action oriented!

The nonstop action & fast moving plot add to a changing theme & character development to make this a solid page turner. The only downside is a credit to its entertainment value: “Telekinetic” is a quick read!

What a great find this series.

Not every post apoc has to be road warrior. Great world building and character based story style. was waiting for a preorder and grabbed this and already bought book 2. finished in 2 days. Solid read and really loved the first chapter and setup to how the story and world got made. clever.

well written, well read

I thoroughly enjoyed this well-thought-out book, very good character growth and plausible realism surrounding the telekinetic idea.

i loved this book

I really like the series I really hope you enjoy it the next book is even better
