Tales of the U'Tanse — Henry Melton

The Cerik raid on supernova-damaged Earth was a failure, but with a pair of humans in his claws, the leader hoped to breed a new race of slaves to replace the Builders, their technologists, that they had wiped out in a fit of revenge. Born of necessity, this pact between Abe and Sharon of Texas and the Cerik, was the genesis of the U'tanse, a psychically gifted splinter of humanity-trapped by violent masters and made to be slaves on a poisonous world. Read these tales from the first generations of a new humanity: James, the first boy born without telepathy in a world where everyone else could read him, has to save the life of a girl who was too telepathic. Karl, abandoned to die as too expensive to rescue, has to survive without being detected-no free U'tanse could be tolerated Debbie, sent off to Festival where girls were swapped to keep inbreeding low, has to choose between a new life with another clan, or to leave with a strange man who offers an alternative on a secret project. Beginning with Star Time, Henry Melton is crafting a tale of human destiny, on Earth and across the stars- The Project Saga.
