On an Earth colony, deep in the Galaxy, mutants with psi abilities
dominate those without, known as "Norms." A powerful but infantile
leader called "Big Noodle" protects the colony from the "Norms" of
Earth, who are determined to eradicate those with psi powers even if it
means interplanetary war.
Hoping to establish a balance of power, while working to mitigate the
corrupting power of psi's, Curt, who is a "precog," discovers humans who
have the ability to nullify the psi influence and hopes to use them to
establish a balance of power and peace.
Murder, time travel, and an unexpected hero make this a fascinating work
of science fiction by a leader in the field.
