In the year 2051, Earth stood on the brink of acceptance as full member of the Galactic Milieu, a confederation of worlds spread across the galaxy. Leading humanity was the powerful Remillard family, but somebody--or something--known only as "Fury" wanted them out of the way. Only Rogi Remillard, the chosen tool of the most powerful alien being in the Milieu, and his nephew Marc, the greatest metapsychic yet born on Earth, knew about Fury. But even they were powerless to stop it when it began to kill off Remillards and other metapsychic operants--and all the suspects were Remillards themselves. Meanwhile, a Remillard son was born, a boy who could represent the future of all humanity. His incredible mind was more powerful even than his brother Marc's--but he was destined to be desroyed by his own DNA...unless Fury got to him first!… (plus d'informations)

The first book of this series takes us back before the events of the Pliocene Exile - sort of. Before the gate was opened to the Pliocene, in the near future of Earth, we have recently been discovered by aliens, and humanity is discovering its great mental powers. Among the greatest of those are the Remillard family. A great story, great characters, and excellent prequel series that stands on its own. The bookseller with the Maine Coon cat has always stood out in my memory. (

De Galactische rassen van het Bestel verwelkomen de mensheid in hun midden. Een nieuwe Gouden Eeuw lijkt voor de mensheid te zijn aangebroken. Maar de Rebellen hebben hun twijfels over deze nieuwe Eenheid en de teloorgang van het individu.

Marc Remillard, de zoon van Teresa Kendall en Paul Remillard, vangt ver in het heelal een noodkreet op. Teresa is zwanger, maar het Bestel staat de geboorte van het kind niet toe en wil haar tot een abortus dwingen. Maar Marc en Teresa weten dat de ongeboren vrucht nu al over immense geestelijke krachten beschikt. (

This pilocene series is an outstanding work of fiction and this the prelude to that series, (although it can also be thought of as a continuation due to the nature of events) sees rogi remillard called upon to help the remillard clan once again. julian may is a very perceptive writer and given half the chance the reader will miss the subtlety of the plot, the implication of any given scenario or the elegance in mundane situations. (Possible spoiler) the latter is best seen when jack (a few days old) is telepathically talking to rogi (his great grand uncle) and interrupts him to announce he's going to cry, explaining he hasn't managed to control this biological imperative. In reading this series it probably best to start with the pliocene series then intervention and then this book and the two which follow it. (

This takes place in the not-so-distant future after the "exotics" have intervened on Earth. It follows the fates of the Remillard family...up to a certain point: it is a triology...and how they became a "Dynasty." While it is an interesting enough story, there are inconsistencies that I'm sure are addressed in the other two books.

Divides humanity into the "normals," without metapsychic powers, and the "operants," those with. There is also a unification theme that is somewhat hazy. I'll keep reading. (

I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made!
     My soul knows how marvelous are your works.
You were aware when my very bones were formed,
     Growing secretly inside my mother's body
     As a plant's root grows beneath the earth.
You knew me before I was born.
     The days of my life were all written in your book
     Before they had ever begun.

—Psalm 139

Whereas in the familiar closed systems of physics the final state is determined by the initial conditions, in open systems, as far as they attain a steady state, this state can be reached from different initial conditions and in different ways.

—Ludwig von Bertalanffy, A Systems View of Man

God writes straight with crooked lines.
