Mind Strike

Tales of the Citadel #34

by Viola Grace

Skiria has been funnelling files out of the capitol for years, hiding those who can pass for standard, talentless folks. Her telepathy got her a position in the government, but it also put her on their radar, and when they needed someone to fill a vacancy, she was hauled out of her apartment and given a promotion.

Tied down and given a sedentary position to keep Resicor from rising and claiming an Avatar, Skiria is slowly dying. When she finally succumbs, she is disposed of in the most direct fashion and swept off world for a mission that she doesn’t understand. All in a day’s work.

I don't think you can really enjoy this short story if you haven't been following the Resicor storyline in the Citadel series.

The heroine has cool talents but we don't really get to know her. We just know what she does. The hero's alien species of merish people is neat but we get very little of the culture. His mother is a pain in the ass for no real reason. The Avatar stuff is interesting. The romance is meh.


It does a good job moving forward the Resicor plot though. :)
