Publisher's Summary

Psychicians by Laurence E. Dahners 

This tale of psychic-physicians is the fifth in a series of stories featuring the psychically talented members of the Hyllis family. 

Hundreds of years after a plague-induced apocalypse collapsed civilization back to iron and horsepower, the Hyllises have a genetic tendency to inherit “talents”. Eva Hyllis and her ancestors became healers because their talents let them feel inside their patients. This helped them diagnose the underlying causes of many illnesses. 

Eva’s children Tarc and Daussie have inherited telekinetic and teleportation talents. Their cousin Kazy’s a telepath. Telekinetic pressure can stop bleeding, teleportation can remove arterial plaques, and telepathy can provide anesthesia and correct psychopathy. 

In this audiobook, they keep finding more and more medical conditions their talents allow them to treat. And, it turns out that the dye chemists in their new town are good enough to synthesize chemicals as complex as antibiotics.

Eva’s long-held dream of teaching and practicing medicine full time is coming true!

Series as a whole is good

I have enjoyed this series. I like the fact that the author explores the use small psychic abilities in real world situations.This story, while interesting, felt a little bit like a throwaway. One of the key aspects of medicine that he focuses on in this book is ophthalmology. I actually am an ophthalmologist. I found that portion to be interesting and I felt like the author paid close attention to some of the details. My only reason for saying that I feel like this is a throwaway is that the main conflict in this particular book felt a bit forced. In reality, I feel like these books have become less about the central conflict and more about the author exploring different aspects of medicine that could be enhanced with these weak psychic abilities.Nonetheless, I am likely going to continue with the series.

I really love this series!

A continuation of the Hyllis series. A well thought out story lne with 3 dimensional characters.

Addicted to this series

I have an addiction and the only cure is more of this series. This ranks in the top 3 best series I have ever listened to. The narrator hits it out of the park.

get this book

from the first book to the 5th I think this is they're all amazing great books great narrator and hope you enjoy them as much as me really should check the series out

Every book gets better

Having binge read and enjoyed all 5 of the Hyllis family stories within a couple of weeks, I can’t wait for book 6 to come along on audible. Easy listening and the way the medical information is presented has filled a lot of gaps in my knowledge. Fires the imagination. Good stories, well narrated.

the series started interesting...

i only will say it the series had an interesting premise but the more i listen the less interesting it is and the characters start behaving like modern less like any person that has been raised in an post apocalyptic world in a medieval setting, the characters do not fitt the world sadly
