Sylvia Engdahl, award-winning author of Young Adult science fiction, is pleased to announce the publication of her first adult novel, Stewards of the Flame.
"A taut, well-paced science fiction work... that transcends the genre's traditional subdivisions and leads us into a world as relevant as today but as enthralling as tomorrow."
— Paul H. Smith
Reading the Enemy's Mind:
Inside Star Gate-America's Psychic Espionage Program
Former intelligence officer in that program
When starship captain Jesse Sanders is seized by a dictatorial medical regime and detained on the colony planet Undine, he has no idea that he is about to be plunged into a bewildering new life that will involve ordeals and joys beyond anything he has ever imagined, as well as enduring love. Still less does he suspect that he must soon take responsibility for the lives of people he has come to care about and preservation of their hopes for the future of humankind.
Part science fiction, part what's sometimes called "visionary fiction," this controversial novel deals with the so-called paranormal powers of the human mind and will appeal to a wide range of readers who question the dominant medical philosophy of today's society. Unlike Engdahl's earlier novels, it is not appropriate for Young Adult audiences.
Full details about the book, a short excerpt, and extensive background information about the topics with which is deals can be found at www.stewardsoftheflame.com. For further information and discussion, visit Sylvia Engdahl's blog.
