The first two chapters in Anne McCaffrey's “Talents Saga" are featured in this recording:
Pegasus in Flight
In this sequel to Ride the Pegasus, McCaffrey continues the story of the Talents-psionic beings who were once feared and despised, but have become necessary to the comfort and conduct of society.
As director of a parapsychic center, telepath Rhyssa Owen coordinates the job assignments for the psychically gifted Talents in her group. She is always ready to welcome new Talents. When an extraordinary man with no measurable Talents appears, however, Rhyssa realizes that she will need to reassess the potential of all Talentkind.
To Ride Pegasus
Molly, Charity, Barbara, Dorotea, and Amalda are members of an elite cadre of beings who have stepped out of the ordinary human race to enter their own! “Talents” are extraordinary people who read minds, heal bodies, divert disasters, and foretell the future. Despite this, they have become pariahs in their own land.
