Book review: Psion and Catspaw by Joan D. Vinge
I recently read two books by Joan D. Vinge: Psion and Catspaw. Each of these standalone science fiction books involved the same central character: A man of dubious beginnings that turns out to have powerful telepathic abilities, and get enmeshed in the politics and scheming of interstellar of corporations and the Federation government. Psion is perhaps the weaker book (3 out of 5), compared to Catspaw (4 out of 5). I happened to read Psion after Catspaw, even though it is chronologically earlier, so you may just skip Psion if you have high standards. I'm looking forward to reading Dreamfall, which is the third book with this character.
