Espers #[nn]

In "The Gathering of Power," Linda Williams must rally five other Espers to rescue her father—kidnapped by a shadowy group known as the Inner Circle, led by the ruthless Koznishev—after a seemingly straightforward terrorist abduction reveals a far more dangerous truth. Written by an unnamed author and illustrated by an unnamed interior artist, this 1995 science fiction tale explores the hidden stakes behind a personal mission.

In "The Coming Storm," the Espers find themselves caught in a deadly crossfire when an outing turns violent after they anger Mafia boss Benito Giovanetti. With Linda's father dead and other hostages still in danger, the team must act—while Ian McVicar vanishes into the hands of the Inner Circle.

In "Thunderhead," Jo and the Espers launch a daring assault on the Inner Circle, only to uncover a threat far deadlier than they imagined—beneath the surface of their rebellion lies a plan to detonate a nuclear bomb. Written by a noted voice in the genre and illustrated with sharp, kinetic energy, the story ratchets up the stakes in a tense, high-wire confrontation where loyalty and survival hang in the balance.
