Sassinak was 12 when the raiders came. That made her just the right age: old enough to be used, young enough to be broken. Or so the slavers thought. But Sassy turned out to be a little different from your typical slave girl. Maybe it was her unusual physical strength. Maybe it was her friendship with the captured Fleet crewman. Maybe it was her spirit. Whatever it was, it wouldn’t let her resign herself to the life of a slave. She bided her time, watched for her moment. Finally it came, and she escaped. But that was only the beginning for Sassinak.

Publisher's summary
They were called Talents - people with extrasensory abilities including reading minds, predicting the future, and healing. But though their gifts were useful and powerful, they were not happy. Often afraid of their own "inexplicable" powers, they lived on the margins - until Henry Darrow dreamed up the Parapsychic Center and started making a place for the Talents. It wasn't very long before they had a mission - and enemies.

Sassinak was 12 when the raiders came. That made her just the right age: old enough to be used, young enough to be broken. Or so the slavers thought. But Sassy turned out to be a little different from your typical slave girl. Maybe it was her unusual physical strength. Maybe it was her friendship with the captured Fleet crewman. Maybe it was her spirit. Whatever it was, it wouldn’t let her resign herself to the life of a slave. She bided her time, watched for her moment. Finally it came, and she escaped. But that was only the beginning for Sassinak.

Interesting but confusing at times
I quite enjoyed this story, despite it's shortness, but where it fell apart a bit for me was the choppiness. It is made up of many little vignettes that - although linear - jump both time and POV. If I was reading instead of listening, this would be easy to follow - but since I consumed this book in audio format, it caused confusion for me a few times.
Overall, I enjoyed the introduction to the universe but if I were to re-visit this novella I would read it instead of listen.

Riding Pegasus
I love books. I am learning to enjoy having them read to me.
The issue with this new twist to become engrossed, involved and entwined with a serious novel is not likely to be easy as if Yu are just sitting with a mug of 'klah' or in front of a roaring fireplace on a slushy day.
It does take some modicum of concentration.
It is worth it, however, to not reach for the remote, for allowing your mind given some sparse images to fill in the rest, not to reorganise your desk or to think about what to wear at a stuffy event. This is *your* time, no else gets to tell you what to do with it!
This book is perfect as a lead in for two more interesting, thought-provoking books. It gives us new ideas and situations to explore. Science fiction and fantasy at its best!
It turns out, much to my surprise, that Adrianne Barbeau has a beautiful voice: warm, lovely pitch, excellently cultured. She is an actress and I would expect that she can certainly deliver a line, but still I was surprised at the quality and richness of it. I hope she will be asked - and interested - to take on more books to read.

Somewhat disappointed
This is not an accurate rendition of the book. It skips many parts that
leave holes in the story. A new reader wouldn't catch most of them but some of would make it confusing for new readers. The narration was well done, but skipping parts wasn't a good idea. I am a HUGE Anne McCaffrey fan and was disappointed when I realized parts were being skipped because most of them were important to the story.
