Discovering his new talents as his town is invaded makes for quite a challenge for the Hyllis son. His unerring skill with a knife and aiding his father's skill with the bow sort out the villains but create new problems. ( ) Dahners, Laurence E. Telekinetic. Hyllis Family No. 1. Kindle, 2014. Laurence Dahners usually builds worlds that are close spinoffs of a recognizable near future America, but in the Hyllis Family series he goes to the trouble of a postapocalyptic future a bit further on. A pandemic, which may have been started by a minor mistake in a biology lab, reduced the world population to 1,000 BCE levels, and years later industrial technology is still not possible. Only scraps of ancient science remain. The Hyllis family--a tavern owner, his wife, who is a local healer, and their teenage children--have a heritable trait that gives them varying degrees of telekinetic power. These powers are a closely held family secret for fear of a superstitious response from the provincial community. When the town is invaded by bandits, they must put their TK to work. As usual, Dahners centers his story on smart kids and inventive ways to use a new ability, for self-defense and as a tool to enhance preindustrial medicine. Gorier than usual, but fun. 3.5 stars rounded up. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieHyllis Family (1)
"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? Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
