Anderson calibre (2.43.0) [http://calibre-ebook.com] 1995-11-02T00:00:00+00:00 <p class="description">Atlas is a struggling colony on an untamable world, a fragile society held together by the Truthsayers. Parentless, trained from birth as the sole users of Veritas, a telepathy virus that lets them read the souls of the guilty, Truthsayers are Justice, Infallible, and Beyond appeal. Falsely accused of murder, Troy Boren trusts the young Truthsayer Kalliana ... until, impossibly, she convicts him. Still shaken from a previous reading, Kalliana doesn't realize her power is fading. But soon the evidence becomes impossible to ignore. The Truthsayers' Veritas has been diluted and someone in the colony is selling smuggled telepathy. Justice isn't blind--it's been blinded. From an immortal's orbital prison to the buried secrets of a regal fortress, Kalliana and Troy seek the conspiracy that threatens to destroy their world from within. For without truth justice, Atlas will certainly fall....</p> Aspect / Warner Books http://isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?4807 eng Novel Justice Fiction Science Fiction General Telepathy Space Colonies _isfdb Preliminary Nominees of 1997 Nebula Award for Novel
