What this book is about
The second Galactic Milieu novel follows Dorothea Macdonald — a Scottish woman who conceals extraordinary psionic powers behind a mask of normalcy — as humanity integrates with the galactic community and a conspiracy threatens both. Julian May's ambitious SF series blends space opera with detailed psionic mythology; Diamond Mask is dense but rewarding for readers of the first volume.
