Defender of the Flame
Title: Defender of the Flame
Author: Sylvia Engdahl
Genre: Science Fiction
Defender of the Flame
is about the first steps toward the next phase of human evolution — the
development of so-called “paranormal” powers such as ESP. Starship
pilot Terry Radnor’s life is transformed by the discovery that he
possesses these powers, and that others are working to spread them
throughout the worlds of humankind. But they face danger. Most people
don’t want to know that such powers exist; they have a deep innate fear
having to admit that their conception of reality is false. And some of
those people will go to any lengths to suppress their emergence. Some
will even resort to terrorism.
Terry vows to defend the world that
is spearheading the spread of new human capabilties, a world where for
the first time in his life he has found happiness. He has no idea of how
far that aim will take him from everything else he cares about — his
promising career as a Fleet officer, his wife and soulmate, his unborn
child. Torn away against his will, he is forced into exile from all that
has previously mattered to him, seeing no chance to fulfill the
commitment he has made. Yet a mysterious and extraordinary destiny has
been predicted for Terry, and fate leads him to an even stranger one
than anybody could have imagined.
This is the first book in the Rising Flame series, to be followed soon by Herald of the Flame.
It does not depend on having read the Hidden Flame series, which
precedes it, since although set in the same world it is a separate
story, complete in itself, that takes place 200 years later.
