THE HANDLER (enovella  #2.1) by Susan K QuinnTHE HANDLER  is the latest e-novella release (August 2012) in Susan K Quinn's Mindjack series.  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.  The Handler focuses on Julian Navarro and the characters introduced in Closed Hearts and takes place between Open Mind and Closed Hearts before Julian has ever met Kira Moore.Julian can manipulate the instincts of the mind. Hoping to amass enough people to create an `army' for the revolution, it is Julian's belief that one day mindjackers would be the dominant species on the planet.  But mindjackers came with all sorts of problems and abilities and Julian would meet a few in the early days of the revolution.Along with his twin sister Anna, Julian would encounter a couple of new recruits that would hopefully become a part of his close circle of mindjacking specialists.  But many of the mindjackers coming to New Chicago were forming lawless clans and were not capable of following orders and Julian was determined that Kira Moore, a revolutionary in her own right, would further enhance his stature and presence as a leader.Julian and Anna would welcome two new recruits, but like most Handlers, they would have to learn to control their abilities.  And it would soon become obvious that one of their recent additions to the Clan, was someone they did not want on their side.  With Anna's special ability, the new recruit would be re-assigned to a new location and Julian would continue his search for the best mindjackers his Clan required.THE HANDLER is a quick and easy read that offers some background information into the personalities of some of the characters introduced in a previous storyline. Approximately 3 chapter in length, we become privy to the abilities of the mindjackers and the knowledge that they too, fear the power, that many of their own `species' have developed.  A great addition to the Mindjack series.see all of my reviews at :thereadingcafe.com
