Rating: 5 out of 5

Andrew P Weston has a lucid, propulsive style and a vision of a future where superhumans use psychic abilities to create a better world -- or do they?  Weston is possibly the perfect writer for this series that weaves a tapestry of myth and science and history and metaphysics:  he's familiar with the way governments work, the way criminals work, and the way evolution works; he understands physics and psychology.  His first novel in a series of great promise is called "Guardian Angels."  In it, a group with telekinetic and remote viewing and telepathic abilities begins intervening, reshaping the fates of folk on Earth.  Bureaucracies shiver, criminal cartels sweat, and a vast cast of characters, up to an including a mysterious Overlord, start sorting out the talented from the sociopathic among us. What limits constrain this warrior class of infinite resources, who can tame black holes and transcend the speed of light?  For what reason besides the state one -- survival of our species -- do these super beings suddenly appear?  What do they really want? Read Guardian Angels, and you'll be hooked on the mystery, the promise, and the threat such beings present.  There are two volumes to this series so far.  The second one is called "Guardians, Book Two of the Guardian series."  I'm reaching for that volume as soon as I finish this review.  Maybe I can get it read before someone in Hollywood buys this property for television.  Highly recommended.
