Listen Carefully
Tress Lore, daughter of the chief engineer and
chief linguist, was born on the Defender. Only nine years old, her life
is about to change.
While exploring the space station where their
ship is undergoing upgrades, she overhears people saying things that frighten
her. Threats against her friends, and even the ship. But when she tells the
adults, nobody else has heard what she heard. Tress is confused. What is wrong
with everybody?
When she hears Lt. M’kar wishing to play a nasty
trick on some people who are giving her trouble, Tress breaks some rules to try
to help. When she is caught, the captain and her parents begin to understand
what is happening to her. She isn't hearing people's voices, but their thoughts.
As she starts training to use her new Talent
properly, Tress starts to understand what her parents have been teaching her: Enlo
gives gifts for a reason. And the reason for her Talent appearing far
too soon may already have arrived.
