More Description

In the Multiis solar system, a genetic mutation has been discovered on seven of the nine inhabited planets. People with the mutation are called Praeons, and they have extraordinary abilities. Some can read another person's thoughts. Some can control other people's emotions. Some are immune to disease. Some have greater than normal strength. Some have a superior intelligence. No one had been able to discover what has caused this mutation. The inter-planetary Praeon Research Project (PRP), funded by the governments of the seven planets, was created to learn more about it, in the hope that these superior abilities could be transferred to those born without them. Driven by the hope that all peoples could benefit from these abilities, with a potential future that would be free of illness and injury, the PRP was given extraordinary latitude in the research of this phenomena. After many years with no practical results, and rumored corruption and cruelty in the PRP, the seven planets divided into two factions. One side wanted to ban the PRP and its criminal activities, and the other side wanted to support its continuing inhuman research. The war that followed caused the devastation of three of the planets, and the ruination of the surviving ones. Many years after the end of the war, one praeon is discovered with abilities not seen since the discovery of the first praeon. This young woman's abilities are far more extraordinary than most other praeons, and the leader of the PRP wants her at any cost. She finds herself being hunted. Injured and unconscious, she wakes up in another solar system, on the planet called Earth.
