Description

Who can you trust when your life is on the line? Is anywhere in the galaxy safe for a telepath who knows too much?

Cara Carlinni’s flight from Alphacorp has landed her on a backwater space station near the galaxy’s rim, and her enemies are closing in fast. Enter Reska (Ben) Benjamin, agent for the Trust, Alphacorp’s biggest rival. Cara needs a bolt-hole. Ben can provide one, but he has his own troubles. Soon they have a common problem. If they get it wrong a whole planet could pay the price. Expect implant-enhanced psi-techs, telepathy, foldspace, new worlds, megacorporations, psi-phobic fanatics, corporate greed, lies, betrayal, loyalty, and love.

Praise for Psi-Tech

“Tense, fast-paced SF thriller with some exciting twists and turns as rogue telepath Cora Carlinni goes on the interplanetary run from the lover who betrayed her and must find out—quickly—who she can trust. And who she can’t—including, perhaps, herself.” — Liz Williams

“The skill of this book lies in Bedford’s ability to seamlessly combine intrigue-heavy, multi-viewpoint plotting with human stories featuring characters you care about—a rare feat in this genre.” — Jaine Fenn

“Bedford builds a taut story around the dangers of a new world…. Readers who crave high adventure and tense plots will enjoy this voyage into the future.” – Publishers Weekly

“Who doesn’t love a far-future novel of evil megacorps and their telepathic agents? Nobody, that’s who. In this one, there’s a fun twist: the “Psi-Tech” implants drive you insane unless you stay connected to the company that put them in you. Until one agent, Cara Carlinni, figures out how to go rogue without losing her mind.” – io9.com

“LOTS of great badass women of various kinds.” – Wordnerdy
