T-Man

Cover by Garrett W. Vance


His own mother hasn't been willing to look at him since he was five years old.  He and his twin sister have a connection that seems almost psychic.  He realizes that close physical contact can let him know what others are thinking as well.  His sister's different from most.  He's different.  But how?  And why?

He and his sister never knew their father, and their mother won't talk about the man.  What they first learn only deepens the mystery.  Could that have anything to do with how they're different?  Maybe.  But how?  And why?

They live in a more bureaucratic world.  Mandatory service.  Rules.  Licenses.  Their world is different.  Could the difference be connected with theirs?  Seems tenuous, but possible.  Is so...how?  And why?

Trooper McInnes finds his talents lend themselves well to soldiering.  Investigator McInnes becomes so good at detection that he gets a reputation for being practically telepathic.  But he has to overcome the doubts his mother unwittingly saddled him with.  He has to overcome the mystery that surrounds his and his sister's birth.  He has to overcome the obstacles the world puts in his way.

And he has to overcome the temptations that close physical contact can lead a young man into.

How will he make his way to adulthood?  How will he make his way in his world?  Find out, and find out why he's called—

T-Man

Note: He isn't called T-Man as short for transman, because he isn't one.  There is, however, a transwoman in the story, among other gender issues. 

Since posting this, I've removed my books from Amazon, and am moving them to Project Gutenberg Self-Publishing Press.  They're all pdf ebooks, all free, and always will be.
