Diamond Mask

More about the book

As the twenty-first century nears its end, Earth has been integrated into the peaceful Galactic Milieu for thirty years, and metapsychic humanity is on the verge of achieving Unity with the unified alien races. However, a faction of rebels opposes this, seeking to maintain human individuality. They are secretly backed by Fury, a deranged metapsychic entity determined to prevent humanity from joining the Milieu and aiming to dominate them instead. Fury will eliminate any powerful minds that resist its influence. Jack the Bodiless, a mutant genius and key figure in Earth's quest for Unity, stands in Fury's way. To further its ambitions, Fury targets Dorothea Macdonald, a young woman concealing her immense mindpowers from the Milieu's best mind readers. Despite Fury's and Jack's persistent attempts to recruit her, Dorothea remains resolute, unwilling to engage in the chaotic politics of the galaxy. Her focus is on protecting Caledonia, her childhood home, and avenging a brutal murder committed by Fury. Ultimately, the true strength of the girl destined to be known as Diamond Mask will prove unmatched, altering the balance of power in ways no one anticipates.
