![]() ![]() Telzey and her duplicate take everything in stride. What, precisely, his bidding is, well, that's never explored. Ti intends to create copies of Telzey, then use his powerful computer to program their minds to do his bidding. He has created a whole island populated with advanced Martri puppets to do his nefarious bidding, but he needs more. Her kidnapper, Ti, whisks her off to a private island, creates a Martri duplicate of her, and holds them both prisoner. When Telzey investigates further, she gets kidnapped. ![]() ![]() But this one is acting as if she's human. Martri puppets look human, but they aren't. She's a Martri puppet, an artificial person programmed to act out parts in a play. She notices something strange: a woman who appears human, but her mind is wrong. ![]() Telzey Amberdon is a sixteen-year-old student with psi powers. I wonder if that's what Freas was going for? Probably the first one, but it doesn't match any scene particularly well. The Kelly Freas cover art is something else. I know I shouldn't be a strict stick-in-the-mud prescriptivist when it comes to the meanings of words, but it still bothered me. What grated on me most, though, is the author kept using disinterested to mean uninterested. They could use a little bit of editing some of the transitions between scenes are a bit rough. I found these Telzey stories to be interesting enough, but not great. ![]()
