I first discovered Julian May about three or four years ago, when I picked up "Jack the Bodiless," Book 1 in the "Galactic Milieu Trilogy." I thought, "Fantastic! Book one!

This tells the story of the evolution of the human mind. People all around the world start developing new mental abilities. The story focuses on a particular family that plays an important role in the development of the human mind. All of this happening while under the surveillance of a galactic civilization. The book grabbed my attention right from the start and I couldn't put it down until I was done.

Simply the best space opera, and the best series of novels I've ever read. This is the first of the nine, and while the last three show signs of fatigue, these novels capture a cast of characters, and one in Marc Remillard, that are truly memorable. From the worlds and milieu May imagines to her evocative themes, the novels capture humanity with all its foibles and promise, and if you stick around for #6, you'll get the best plot twist in all of bookdom.

First book bridging two series by Julian May, starting at the very beginning of developing mindpowers in children all over the world.

Good series that gives a lot more background to the prior series.
