Pegasus in Flight
Earth was at bursting point, in spite of the birth restrictions of only one child to each couple. Extra children existed in a sub-cultured world or were rounded up into slavery. The only hope was the space platform - the jumping-off point for the colonization of other worlds. But more 'Talents' were needed to build and operate those platforms.
Rhyssa Owen was the one responsible, both for finding Talents and training them. And when she felt the first encroachment of a mind reaching out to her, she knew it was exceptional - a fourteen- year-old boy with incredibly powerful kinetic ability. And in the seamy underworld of near-criminal children was another brilliant mind in danger from a ruthless group of child kidnappers.
Rhyssa knew she had to find the two children and train them for the survival of earth.

Anne McCaffrey
Anne McCaffrey’s name resonates deeply in the world of science fiction, not just for her imaginative worlds but for her ability to weave emotional depth and humanity into stories about dragons, space travel, and the bonds that define us. Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1926, McCaffrey’s passion for storytelling took root early, though her path to becoming one of the genre’s most beloved authors was not an immediate one. Before turning to writing full-time, she explored a variety of professions, including acting and singing, but it was the written word that eventually captured her heart.
