Annotation: Doro, an immortal who has created a master race of superhumans for over 4,000 years, discovers that Mary, one of his telepaths, might have the ability to free herself and others from his dominating control. 

Booktalk: Congratulations. You’ve survived the transition. Most don’t, at least that’s what Doro told you when he helped make you an “active” telepath. He should know; he’s been doing this for 4,000 years. 

But now you’re learning more than Doro wants you to know. You can control minds from all over the country, making a mental network of actives, something even he can’t do. You see what Doro’s doing and know that it’s little better than slavery, maybe even worse. You know you can challenge him. You know you should. But if you fail, the consequences will destroy you and everyone you love.
