To Ride Pegasus

It is all about the the powers of the human mind! Yes we have all suspected that it was true the mind is more powerful than we thought, well our thoughts are powerful. Telepaths who can speak to each other with you saying a single work. Those who can bend spoons, move objects with out touching them or teleport something from one place to another by simply thinking it. Oh yes faith healers have been around for a long time but is it tel-empathic?

In 1969 Anne McCaffrey wrote a series of short stories on this subject that became so popular that in 1974 she combined into a book called “To Ride Pegasus.” The band of people with these abilities began to call themselves “Talents” and started work to increase their powers. Here a group of wild “talents” banded together to train  and work together to make a better world. That world was sometimes hostile so the mutual protection was also necessary. People fear what they can not understand and some one who can read your mind is someone to fear.

The story is about how their organization was formed and their protection assured as their usefulness to the society came to be appriciated and used.. This book was only the first in a long line that I and millions of McCaffrey fans thourghly enjoy. 🙂
