Author Description

A galactic-scale extinction event... A group-mind escape chute for humanity... A psi-powered young woman with identity issues... Inter-dimensional Beings who call themselves Archoi manage humanity's future over millennial time scales. An accident in Their realm upsets the normal course of human evolution. To fix the problem the Archoi engineer the birth of an extraordinarily gifted woman. As Rosy Tang reaches adulthood the Archoi give her psychic powers and send her on a mission that sets her apart from friends and family. They call Rosy to use those powers to find Forerunners-humans with altered genes whom the Archoi use to constitute a saving remnant of humanity. But the demiurge Chaos, timeless opponent of the Archoi, plots a different course for the Forerunners. Amid this web of cosmic deceit Rosy battles to claim the heritage she was born to without denying her fun-loving nature and spirited desire to live a normal life. Kelly, a starship captain, becomes a focal point for her struggles. The unexpected appearance of Samantha, an equally gifted mentalic, provides the Archoi with an alternate path to their goal should Rosy fail. Will Samantha challenge Rosy for leadership in the mission or help her find herself in the face of seeming defeat? Will Kelly become the resource she needs to fulfill her calling? _________________ TELPHER SERIES Remnant is the fourth book in a cross-genre space opera series.
