In the tradition of the Theodore Sturgeon and James H. Schmitz, a new tale of galactic intrigue and adventure . . . Rikk Hoister is the first of new breed of cloned, paranormal geniuses, able to defeat the Imperial Navy with his mind alone, bound only by a rigid sense of ethics . . . His cousin Yewanda is equally powerful, and also able to teleport herself anywhere. She’s innocent, inexperienced . . . and just six years old.When Yewanda sets out on her own to visit Rikk, the galaxy better watch out!-----“Remember when science fiction used to be filled with galactic intrigue and bigger-than-life heroes? The wonderful Don Sakers certainly does! The Eighth Succession is a rip-roaring yarn, impossible to put down. If John W. Campbell's Astounding Stories had been published in an LGBT-friendly era, this is the cover-story serial you'd have been waiting anxiously for each month. What a ride! “—Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Red Planet Blues----------
