Book Description
This is the sixteenth book in a series of near future Hard-SciFi Thrillers. Their heroine Ell Donsaii has a nerve mutation that's rendered her a genius as well as providing astonishing athletic abilities. Her genius has let her revolutionize our world with a number of inventions, including instantaneous communications and trans-dimensional portals that deliver fuel, water, and food all around the worldIn "Transporter," Ell and her friend Roger have now found a way to transport people without the pain and seizures that have plagued such attempts in the past. This is going to change the world in untold ways.Having left the country to get away from all the attention brought by an attack on Zage (Ell's son) in the last book, they find themselves confronted by debt-slavery in the Dominican Republic. Rather than (as so many of us do) just pretending it isn't happening, they decide to do something about it.Zage's working to evaluate his promising test-tube Alzheimer's results in an animal model. But while this is being done, Ell's grandmother is becoming more and more demented. The ethical question of whether or not to try an unproven treatment in Gram presents them with a terrible dilemma.

Book Description
"Rocket!" is the fourth in a series of near future SciFi/Thrillers whose young heroine Ell Donsaii has a nerve mutation that makes her a genius and an athletic phenomenon. In "Rocket!" she works out the enormous potential of the wormholes she discovered in "Lieutenant." Though they only provide small openings through space, the wormholes could prove to be a tremendous boon to humankind. Excerpt: Excitedly Ell started picking up the components and laying them on the surface of the big table. The happy babble around her quieted as one by one the team members turned to watch her lay out a number of metal tubes. She heard them speculating, What is it All those tubes. Some kind of plumbing project Ell laid a pointed cap at the left end and a conical device at the other, ?A rocket someone asked. Ell grinned up at them, ?Yep, a rocket.? Ben said, ?Why a rocket? I thought we were going to replace rockets with instantaneous transfer of materials through port/wormholes to satellites and to the space station Ell smiled even more broadly. ?Well, first we have to get our ports up to orbit where we want to transfer those materials, right? And before you say we can just send them up on the rockets that already go up there, think about why those rockets are so huge She looked around the group. ?Right? Because they have to carry so much fuel! For the first part of the mission they are mostly just launching fuel for the next part of the mission. It's horribly inefficient!? The group stared at her as they pondered her words. Fred scratched his head, ?Are you thinking this little rocket, ? he waved at the parts on the table, ?because we can port it fuel, could make it all the way up to orbit Ell waggled her eyebrows, ?All the way to the space station!? Eyes widened around the group, someone said, ?Then we could ?port? them supplies!? Ell said, ?Yeah! So, full speed ahead! I think we should bust our asses trying to prepare a rocket that can get to the Station and deliver ports for us to supply the astronauts with. If the Chinese fail their resupply mission to the Station we need to be ready! I?m sure you guys know that if the Chinese fail to deliver supplies, the folks on the station are going to be in some very serious trouble. All their other backups have already failed. As Epaulding said, ?they are in the midst of the perfect storm of problems.

Book Description
"Telekinetic" is the first of a series of post-apocalyptic stories featuring the Hyllis family. The collapse of civilization has reduced their people back to iron and horsepower. The Hyllises tend to inherit "tele-talents" such as telekinesis and teleportation. Tarc Hyllis' mother (and his grandfather before her) could "feel" things with their talent. They became healers because they could feel inside their patients, which frequently let them diagnose the underlying causes of an illness. Having made a diagnosis, unfortunately, there was often little they could do to treat a problem. Tarc's father can "push" objects with his mind, but, because he can't feel inside anything, he doesn't know where to exert force in order to help to treat his wife's patients. Tarc's just gaining the ability to do both of these things. The combination of these two powers will let him both diagnose a physical problem such as internal bleeding, and then stop that bleeding by applying pressure inside the patient. His mother finds this development extraordinarily exciting. She has too often had to watch her patients die for lack of an effective treatment.Then some strangers show up to scout the town where the Hyllises live. They plan and initiate a violent takeover. Could Tarc's powers, weak as they are, play a role in resisting this invasion? It turns out he can guide a knife after it's thrown?

Telepath by Laurence E. Dahners"Telepath" is the fourth in a series of stories featuring the members of the Hyllis family. After a plague induced apocalypse collapsed civilization back to iron and horsepower, the Hyllises developed a genetic tendency to inherit "talents." Eva Hyllis and her ancestors became healers because their talents let them feel inside their patients. This helps them diagnose the underlying causes of many illnesses. Having made a diagnosis, sometimes they can do something. Unfortunately, often they cannot. However, Eva's children Tarc and Daussie have inherited telekinetic and teleportation talents. Telekinetic pressure can stop bleeding and teleportation can remove stones and arterial plaques. In this book, they realize their young cousin Kazy's a telepath! Tarc realizes his girlfriend Lizeth's a precog? just before she breaks up with him. Now they're rapidly finding more and more medical conditions their talents allow them to treat. And, they discover an ancient, undisturbed medical facility which promises more equipment and knowledge. Perhaps Eva's long held dream to teach and practice medicine full time might become possible?

Ell's robotic probes have found intelligent aliens on the third planet of 61 Virginis. Although these aliens appeared to be completely non-technological, it turns out that they are far ahead of Earth in the manipulation of DNA. Can we safely trade technology for some of their DNA know how? Finally, some of Ell's old enemies have decided to have one more try at kidnapping her in order to obtain some of her secrets...

This one is about Kaem Seba's daughter, Zaii, a young woman who, like her father, has extraordinary math talents. Eager to do her part in the war against the aliens from Epsilon Eridani, she becomes a Space Force ROTC cadet. Soon after that, she's proving to be a superb young officer. However, as she studies potential warfighting strategies that might be used against the Eridanis, she realizes that the defenders of Sol system have a problem. The humans won the first battle against the Eridanis by using the technical advantage afforded by the invulnerability of stasis. But, the Eridanis jump and biowarfare technology could easily allow them to wipe out the human race on Earth and thus win the war. Offered the opportunity, she sets out to study the wreckage of the Eridani ships from the first battle. She hopes to figure out how jump works, thus appropriating that technology for human use and evening the playing field. Can she figure this out in time to keep the Eridanis from exterminating homo sapiens? It turns out to be a lot harder than she'd hoped, and to require help from someone she doesn't want to ask...
