In Damia's Children, one of science fiction and fantasy's most beloved novelists, Anne McCaffrey, continues the story of psychic Talent begun with The Rowan and Damia. The Rowan's next generation of passionate and talented descendants prepare to defend their worlds against an alien attack of mysterious origin.

Damia had deflected a previous attack on the human worlds and sent the aliens into deep space. Hungry for more living space, they return with plans to dominate, armed with knowledge of the psychic defense they can expect from humanity.

However, as it has been learned that Talent can be both bred and taught, the combined abilities of Damia's children make them an even greater power than Damia or her mother. Each child has a special Talent that together makes them the most powerful Gwyn-Raven force yet to come. United they will confront the attackers face to face.

The story of a family of psychics continues in the third volume of a series which does not appear to have ended. Narrator Jean Reed-Bahle reads all three. She is an excellent reader--her low-pitched voice is expressive and easy to listen to. She changes voices mainly for alien races. Telepathic conversations are electronically amplified, an other-worldly effect. This volume may not stand well alone as readers may not understand references to previous events. E.F.
