Böcker av Susan Nordman

Mother Earth was in trouble.It was impossible to deny.The climate was changing-oceans rising, storms increasing in frequency and destructiveness. Changes that took thousands of years were happening in a span of years.With the threat of famine as global temperatures increased and international trade collapsed, the world sat on the brink of war. Meanwhile, scientists and people with deep pockets were desperately searching for alternatives-Mars, the Moon, and orbiting habitats.After being scapegoated for a catastrophic rocket explosion, engineer John Marshal thought his career was over. He was delightfully surprised to hear that his wife, Dr. Alex Cummings, was hired as a manager for the Project Voyager survey mission to Mars. Not only would he be accompanying Alex-John is also given the rare opportunity to build the first Earth spaceship... in outer space, no less!

The empath Thane and his adopted telepathic daughter Ilaria are summoned to the Wald to investigate a dead body washed onto the shores of the densely forested planet; however, once it is discovered the deceased had been a renegade psychic, the body is destroyed before they can determine who she was or, more importantly, what she was doing on a forbidden planet. As psions are hated and mistrusted by the Citizens of the Janus Empire, there are few who care that the evidence showed the woman had been murdered.Their investigation is seemingly at a dead end until dozens more bodies are discovered-all of them psychics and all of them killed by having their psychic cells removed.Determined to discover who is murdering their kind and why, Thane and Ilaria's investigation is complicated even further when the ambassadors of a neighboring empire turn up dead and their own Emperor is nearly assassinated.Published by Blue Forge Press.
