Pegasus In Flight is the second novel in The Talent series by author Anne McCaffrey. The main character in this novel is named Rhyssa. Miss Owen is a telepath and also holds a very high position as the director at a Parapsychic Center.

Her position is to coordinate the assignments given out to students there. The jobs are all distributed accordingly and given out to the ‘Talents’, who have psychic gifts. She has been plenty busy as of late contending with all of the demand, however. It’s almost too much demand out there for the talents. Especially lately when the space platform is being built.

The platform is supposed to be a way for humanity to get to the stars. It’s such a large undertaking that it means that Rhyssa has had to take on more new Talents every year. The Center has never taken on so many new entry students, but there is that much of a need for them.

That was the way things were and there was no point trying to fight against them. In the meantime, Tirla is a twelve year old girl that is pretty feisty and hip to the ways of the street. She’s always been quick and her ability to pick up and not only understand but speak languages has helped her to get by. Using her talents, she’s been able to squeeze out a living working in the Linear developments.

There’s she’s been trying to just get through to the next day while other people sit in poverty, trying the best that they can to make it and survive. It’s tough making the ends meet here, and people generally are willing to sink to lower levels to get what they need. That means kids being either conscripted or else sold into work programs.

She really needs the help that only someone that is gifted could give her. The same goes for Peter, a younger man that has been injured in an accident that he never saw coming. He’s paralyzed now, but hopes that he can somehow get to space one day, with zero gravity helping him to breathe and move more easily. He could have a new life all to himself, or at least that is what he thinks.

When Rhyssa finds that a man has appeared in her life that actually is not gifted, she wonders what she’s doing. The appearance has also made her question what she thought to be true about her people. When two children are found that are definitely gifted, she wonders just how Talented the two of them really are.

When the children may be found to have abilities that go well beyond the normal levels, it’s up to Rhyssa to decide what to do with them and which way they will go. But she’s starting to realize that the world of Talented people must be protected and the individuals within must be shielded at any cost. What will happen?
