E-book Title: Sensitive
Author: Dan Donoghue
Book Description: In a future age, the competition between nations has become intense. The science of genetics has become embroiled in this rivalry. A situation has developed where, firstly athletes, then soldiers, and then scientists are bred especially for their professions. In the course of the breeding programmes, extrasensory talents are enhanced, proven, and then bred into spies - the first of the Sensitives. However, such spies can be detected by other Sensitives. There develops a race to produce agents who can shield their minds.
The enhanced intelligence of the scientists leads to the development of space travel and the discovery and colonization of an Earth-like planet that is called "High America". For some reason unknown, any sensitive that goes to the settlement on High America is drawn towards the North-north-east, and does not return. If they are restrained, they go mad. Hence no Sensitives can live on the planet.
The proliferation of people with extrasensory powers on Earth leads to civil unrest and war. There is an age of anarchy, and the breeds run wild. Hence the hero of the novel is born - he is a sensitive who can shield his mind, but he is born into a primitive society where his powers go unnoticed until he is a young man.
Because of a conflict with another politically powerful sensitive, he is framed, and sent as a convict to High America.
He must discover and defeat the thing that lures Sensitives to their deaths, or fall victim to it. An interplanetary war makes that task even more difficult and dangerous.
