THE SCRIBE (Mindjack Origins 2.2) by Susan Kaye QuinnTHE SCRIBE is another short-story (August 2012 release) from Susan Kaye Quinn's Mindjack Trilogy.  In a world where mindreading is the norm (due to decades of contaminated water) those without the ability are known as zeroes, but there are a few who possess a power greater than most.  This story takes place between Open Minds and Closed Hearts.Sasha Rimbali has a power that he considers so evil that he is willing to die before he ever uses his powers again.  Believing his powers are too destructive, too complete and too final, Sasha searches out Julian Navarro and his small Clan of mindjackers hoping to side with them in the upcoming revolution.  The revolution that will see mindjackers as the dominant species, Sasha hopes that Julian will see a different side and not use Sasha's power to control, punish or gain power against others.  Sasha believes Julian will make a difference, but time will tell if Sasha or the others will survive without the use of his powers.Sasha was a new changeling when Arlis (Sasha's old mentor) discovered his unbelievable powers.  Teaching Sasha how to control and use his powers was more than beneficial for Sasha but also for Arlis and his Clan.  But recruiting Sasha to use his powers for control and punishment was something that Sasha could no longer tolerate-the nightmares were frequent and the guilt was too high.Ava Trinkle is a viewer.  With the ability to view at great distances, Ava's powers will benefit the Clan when she is able to reach and read their enemy during the revolution.  But Ava and Sasha have something in common, and it is their common thread that will unite the pair for more than just a battle-but perhaps in their hearts. When Ava is accepted into Julian's Clan, Sasha will become Ava's protector in more ways than one.THE SCRIBE is another short story that introduces two more members of Julian's Clan of mindjacking specialists. From the talented desk of Susan Kaye Quinn, The Scribe is another welcome addition to the  Mindjack Trilogy.see all of my reviews at : thereadingcafe.com
