Galactic Milieu Trilogy #2
The year is 2069. The location, the planet Caledonia - one of the Ethnic Worlds which has been largely settled by people of Scottish descent.
The Macdonalds are a fairly typical family of colonials who operate an air farm producing a valuable fungoid organism.
Their youngest daughter Doro is a metapsychic and at twelve is forced to leave the family home to enter the planet's Metapsychic Institute. There is brain surgery, painful training and a gradual realization that she is even more different than the 'normals' with whom she has spent her entire life. Not only is Doro a meta, but she is a profoundly superior meta, earmarked to become the eventual Dirigent - head of Caledonia's government. It's a grim prospect.
When the current Dirigent dies, Doro, now twenty, is placed in charge and is immediately thrust into a crisis of gigantic proportions. It is a catastrophe that could lead to utter devastation and Doro is faced with a difficult decision. Should they abandon the planet? Or should Doro follow the advice of the mysterious alien race the Lylmik, who seem to have a metapsychic solution involving the use of a dangerously primitive device.
Success in such a venture may mean a more important role for human metas within the leadership of the Milieu.
Failure will ultimately lead to the destruction of their world...
