The Tower and the Hive

For generations, the descendants of the powerful telepath known as The Rowan have used their various talents to help mankind. Some share The Rowan's telepathic strength, others can teleport through space, others are empathic healers. As more planets are colonized by humans, and the known universe becomes ever more spread out, the family has grown powerful. They have led Earth to ally itself with the peaceful alien Mirdini, and together the two races have held back the predatory Hivers, who once laid waste entire planets. Like all powerful families, the Rowan's descendants have also made enemies. In this book, the clan has two objectives - to help the Mirdini control population growth, and to put a final halt to Hiver advances. They are confident of success--if they can survive sabotage and assassination.
