Read in June, 2008
Genre: Science Fiction (space opera)
A fast-paced action-adventure set in the crumbling remains of a star-spanning technological society. The hero is Jak Rebo, a sort of cross between James Bond and a post-man, the heroine is Lonni Narr a "sensitive" (i.e. a person with telepathic and telekinetic abilities that can see/communicate with the dead). The goal is to deliver this kid, Lee, to one of the core worlds where he will/should/might be recognized as the reincarnation of a big-name religious figure (something like the Dali Lama) except a different set of monks want _their_ chosen boy to be recognized as the reincarnated religious figure. Trouble ensues. And gloriously fun trouble to read about, it is ;-)
