Résumé: Amazon.com: Anne McCaffrey is best known for <I>The Dragonriders of Pern</I>, but her loose Talents series about superpsychics has been running almost as long. It began with the near-future <I>To Ride Pegasus</I>, continuing a couple of generations later in <I>Pegasus in Flight</I>. Book 2 introduced a crowd of new characters, notably the paralyzed boy Peter whose telekinetic talent can move not only his body without help from his ruined nervous system, but--with practice--even lift payloads into orbit.<p> <I>Pegasus in Space</I> follows directly, with mayhem and mutiny, at the opening of a manned space station, which Peter and talented friends helped build. Further hassles ensue during his training for space haulage work: obstructive bureaucrats, crooked suppliers, murder attempts, and skillful sabotage. McCaffrey specializes in feel-good adventure SF, full of romance, warm friendships, and hearty meals. Somehow her villains never quite convince, though, and their evil deeds are so rapidly annulled that the story rarely builds up much suspense. Meanwhile, the orphan girl Amiriyah who's adopted into Peter's family has a mysterious, subtle talent of her own, one that we soon guess will change his life. Our young hero's ambitions foreshadow later far-future books in the series (beginning with <I>The Rowan</I>) in which kinetics hurl cargo across huge interstellar gulfs. While most people think his talent needs careful conservation, Peter has already teleported supplies to the moon and has secret plans for Mars, the asteroids, and the moons of Jupiter. It all makes for an agreeable, lightweight read. <I>--David Langford, Amazon.co.uk</I><br /><br /><a href=http://www.amazon.fr/Pegasus-Space-Anne-McCaffrey/dp/0345434676?SubscriptionId=1W087CHNYGBWE51SK6R2&tag=ws&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=0345434676>Amazon</a>
