Jayel

by Janet M. Gibson

In a fictional solar system, inhabitants of the planet Orim developed technology over centuries to “terraform” neighboring planets and travel to the nearest star system.

 People within the Onus One and Onus Two star systems share one government, plentiful land, and extensive resources. Furthermore, inhabitants benefit from the gifts of The Endowed, an elite organization of men and women who use their special abilities (including wisdom, strength, and telepathy) to solve social, intellectual, and environmental problems. 

The story follows medical student, Jayel, who suspects her father murdered his brother’s wife seventeen years ago. Both brothers are Endowed members. The heroine joins her uncle in a search of truth. The story involves travel to planets, a space battle, love and betrayal, psychology, and telepathic abilities. 

At an Endowed gathering to hear the evidence, will the truth be revealed? Will the murderer escape justice?

Fans of Star Trek, Star Wars, or Doctor Who will enjoy this story where the characters’ conflicts and relationships are forefront against cultural backgrounds of these fictional planets.
