I can't believe more people haven't discovered this intense sci-fi thriller! I must admit I had no idea what I was getting into when I bought it - I thought it might be a story about remote viewing or something similar but I was swept off my feet by a far more complex scenario. I admit I've thought a lot about psychics and telepathy but what startled me about this story was just how different a path it took. It is loaded with psychological and scientific intricacies that really make you wonder. For instance, if a group of children are telepathic what would that mean for their learning capabilities? Their emotional and intellectual growth? Their behavior? Would they even bother to speak verbally? These questions are within the first few chapters and they don't stop as the story picks up the pace and asks even deeper questions while dodging assassins. It's a bit like Jurassic Park but instead of dinosaurs its psychics. The science is dense and the ethical complications are thought-provoking. This book will change everything you think you know about psychics. I highly suggest this to anyone who loves science fiction or is interested in psychics. Author: Theophanes Avery

A terrific geopolitical sci-fi thriller. 
Mindreacher is a top-notch geopolitical sci-fi thriller that is epic in its scope, truly original and encyclopedic in its details. Irene imbues the novel with ideas that only someone with her amazing personal biography could bring to a novel of this kind. This is the second book of Irene's I've read and this one, like her Mary Knew, is written with such clarity that even the most complex concepts are very easy to grasp. In Mindreacher the United States faces nuclear destruction by terrorists unless a mindreacher - a person with telepathic power - can be found to assist in locating the terrorists. Enter a U.S. Marine who adds dash and heroism to the story that expands the globe. Remarkably, at the back of the novel is a detailed glossary and five pages of references (Did I mention the novel is filled with facts?). I highly recommend this book.  Author: Steve Carr

A great summer read. I think this story was unique in that it portrayed a character with extraordinary mental capabilities who embarked on a worldwide adventure to find others with similar capabilities in order to combat terrorists. I highly recommend this book.   J. Worthington
