Misty | 1 comments It's been gnawing on my brain for the past 20 years... I love Scifi/Fantasy books and pretty much read all of Issac Aismov and Piers Anthony books. I hope the power of the collective Reddit mind can help me out:

The premise of the books is that the humans has colonized the galaxy. It was however broken up into 3 factions. The Chinese, Americans and Russians (I think) ended up as the primary groups. Each group has it's own sectors of the galaxy and there is a lot of distrust and skirmishes (I'm not sure if they were at war)

During his time there were people with mutant powers. Powers such as Telepathic & Telekinesis. There were also people who were Null (not affected by Telepathic powers). I also remember that they had tattoos or markings that signify, either their faction or their powers (I'm not sure)

The whole story is each faction had a military group or squad after SOMETHING in a tower/building. The book would jump from the perspective of faction to faction to tell the story. Each faction, had a protagonist and would have their own storyline. There was one part where 2 of the factions had a firefight, faction A detected that faction B had a telepath scanning their tactics. When the Null person found out, she (I remember that she was a she) changed the settings of the blasters of her fellow soldiers to a stun/spread mode. So when they opened fire, they where able to hit several Faction B people and either advance or retreat to the tower/building.

I kind of remembered the book title had the word "Three" in it. Somehow I thought it went along the lines of "The Three Towers". Also the cover was a 70's dark color theme with a soldier looking towards a tower or building.
