Conclusion: Worth Reading
Someone else who reviewed this book compared it to an X-Files episode sans Mulder and Sculley. I'd have to concur with that assessment. A sinister quasi-government organization similar to the Syndicate has been conducting breeding and medical experiments on people with psi powers. Allison Boyle was a teenage girl who was born to two parents you used to work for that organization, but who quit years ago. She conceived and raised in secret because both parents had the genes for psi powers, and they knew that the organization would want her for their experiments.
Well, the bad guys find out about her of course, and her fight to get away from them is what the book is about. It's interesting, but hardly great, and a bit too long for my taste. This is a classic "once read" - I'm not sorry I bought it, but I'll never pick it up again.
Note: Steven Krane appears to be a thinly disguided pseudonym for Steven A. Swiniarski.
