The Talent series opens with To Ride Pegasus (1973), a linked collection of stories introducing people born with parapsychic gifts such as telepathy, telekinesis, and precognition, as society first learns to organize and rely on them. Pegasus in Flight (1990) and Pegasus in Space (2000) complete the trilogy, following the training and growing use of these Talents through near-Earth crises. Anne McCaffrey set the series earlier in the same Talents universe that her later Tower and Hive novels continue.
