Telepathy. Just a far-fetched bit of science fiction “hocus pocus.” But is it? With today’s giant leaps forward in technology and biotechnology, with people constantly surrounded by sophisticated yet invisible communication networks, and with a rapidly increasing understanding of the brain’s inner workings . . . is it so hard to imagine that we might be able to develop direct mind-to-mind communication?

Or might it not be the case that evolution alone, in the right circumstances—if not on this planet, then on others—could give rise to creatures with telepathic abilities?

This collection of fourteen stories explores the ramifications of a future where telepathy is real. From that first glorious moment of discovery, to the subsequent jealousies and class divisions, to the dangers of weaponization and the blessings of medical miracles, The Telepath Chronicles promises to take you inside the creative minds of some of today’s top science fiction authors.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
Peter is an Australian science fiction writer, specialising in making hard science fiction easy to understand and thoroughly enjoyable.
His FIRST CONTACT series is topical rather than character-based, meaning each book stands alone. These novels can be read in any order, but they all focus on the same topic of First Contact with extraterrestrial lifeforms. In this regard, the series is akin to BLACK MIRROR or THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
Hard science fiction is a misnomer as far as categories of literature go, as it sounds harsh and difficult to understand, but that is far from reality. Hard science fiction is simply plausible science fiction, fiction that is written in such a way as it conforms to the known laws of science, and that makes it more interesting, as there's no magic wand the protagonist can wave to get out of trouble. Peter's forays into hard science fiction could best be described as informative science fiction or enjoyable science fiction.
Peter is a fan of such classic science fiction writers as Philip K. Dick, Arthur C. Clarke and Michael Crichton and their influence on his style and story lines is readily apparent. You can follow Peter on Facebook or Twitter or find him posting some interesting tibit on his blog http://thinkingscifi.wordpress.com/

I haven't read an anthology since high school. I remember them.as annoying - too short to become invested in the characters, too sha!low for someone who loves epic, era spanning tales like i do. I

I was pleasantly surprised to find that each of these short stories were.rich, and thought provoking, and not the least bit annoying, as I had remembered this format. Even better, I discovered four new to me authors and have purchased their novels as a resultsult of discovering them here.

This is a great collection of stories

The Telepath Chronicles is a fantastic collection of short stories with a focus on the world of telepathy and telepath rights.
What makes it such a great collection is that despite the common theme, each of the authors has a different vision of how prevalent telepathy would be, and what its existence would mean at the individual and social levels.
If you like sci-fi stories that are driven by characters, you're going to love this collection.

Not a bad story in this collection

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

I just finished the last story in this great collection, MeiLin Miranda's "Word-Bound," which uses the analogy of the deaf adapting to a world in which people speak. I don't know if this was placed deliberately at the end because it is such a strong story, but it might as well be. There are many memorable stories, and not a one is weak. "The Elm Tree" deal s with telepath's ability to find the person who molested a young girl, with repercussions for her parents. Some stories are the author's way of introducing readers to a series of books, such as Susan Kaye Quinn's "The Locksmith," from her Mindjack series.

Reading this book in e-book format has the advantage of allowing the reader to follow links to each author's website, get on their mailing list, or otherwise correspond. And there's a surprise at the end of MeiLin's story, which, which of course I will not be revealing. This collection is worth buying for any one of its fourteen stories.

Another good anthology in this series. (I have also read The Robot Chronicles, and Synchronic, although not officially part of this series, which has some of the same authors, and it feels like it's part of the series. I also have, but have not yet read, The A.I Chronicles and The Alien Chronicles.) Each story was a different approach to telepathy: how it manifests itself, how it is received by society, how it can be a blessing and a curse. As with any anthology, some of the stories left me wanting more of their worlds. In some cases, that is possible - there is an author's note at the end of each story, and some of them explain that the story is part of or inspired by a bigger work. I'm really enjoying the work of this group of independent authors and in some cases have moved on to their full books. Anthologies are a great way to find your next favorite author!

Great anthology

Having read The Robot Chronicles I had great expectations about this second collection. The authors are some of the best indie authors around and they are getting pretty famous.
Even if I am fond of SciFi I never read much in the telepathy genre, but it has been a really pleasant read.
Suggested to anyone looking for something new.

I read a lot of SF when I was a kid -- stuff that was written mostly in the '40s and '50s -- and grew disillusioned with the genre when it changed so radically in the mid-'60s. Recently I've been sampling it again and this collection makes me glad I have. A few of the stories are merely good, many are very good, and there are a few truly excellent tales. I've collected some names, here, that I'm going to follow.

Great Anthology

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2014

Verified Purchase

The Telepath Chronicles is the 2nd Anthology in The Future Chronicles, the first is called The Robot Chronicles. If you haven't read that I highly recommend you read that as well. It is not required to read The Robot Chronicles before reading this, but you would being doing your self an injustice if you didn't read it.

I was not sure what to expect when reading this, but once you jump in the rabbit hole you are there. I could not get enough of this Anthology. The anthology kicks off with #DontTell by Peter Cawdron. This is where you get sucked into the rabbit hole. Just be warned, once you pop the fun don't stop. I found myself going from story to story and not wanting to put the book down.

For me the highlights are the following stories:

The Null by Vincent Trigili - This story is my favorite. This story is so fast paced and really draws you into the world. I found myself quickly turning the page to find out what was going to happen. I don't want to give away much, but this story is really good. I hope Vincent does more in this world.

Decode by Autumn Kalquist - This is the first story that I have read by Autumn and I really can't wait to continue this story in her other books. I really look forward to them.

Stability by Teresa Kay - Again, I really got drawn into the world that Teresa created and needed to know what was going to happen. I hope that Teresa continues the story in future books.

No More Lies by Nina Croft - Again, another story that I really liked and I hope Nina continues in this world.

This anthology is just full of great stories. I feel that I am doing the book justice if I don't mention every story in it, but the above were the ones I really liked. Do yourself a favor and buy this. You will not regret it.

Anthologies like these are an excellent way to tryout authors new to you and check in on old favorites you haven't visited with recently. From the action packed "Null" and "Venus in Red" to the sad and sweetly loving "Trauma Room " there's a satisfying read for every telepathy fan.

Would Telepathy be a good thing?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 8, 2015

Not just entertaining, but also thought provoking by showing the possible outcomes of telepathy.. Also, if you've ever wondered why a deaf couple might not want their child to have an implant to help the child become part of the hearing world, one story in particular gives insight. Definitely an excellent read.

Mai tornare con gli ex

Reviewed in Italy on December 14, 2015

Verified Purchase

Anche se ascoltando Adele la tentazione di richiamare un ex è quasi irresistibile, non bisogna cedere. Tornare con gli ex è sempre un errore, e vale anche per gli amori letterari. Ho amato molto la fantascienza, per anni, e quando ho visto queste Cronache telepatiche non ho resistito al richiamo: questo era uno de temi di fantascienza che amavo di più, e anche la forma del racconto mi è sempre piaciuta. Mal me ne incolse. La raccolta ha di buono che i racconti affrontano il tema della telepatia da angolazioni tutte diverse. E' il livello delle idee e della scrittura che mi è sembrato scarso. O forse sono cambiata io e non trovo più nella fantascienza il guizzo, lo stupore, il meraviglioso che trovavo 30 anni fa. Dei racconti, non uno mi ha sorpreso: Don't tell è inconsistente, The elm tree non è fantascienza ma paranormale per adolescenti, In Stability l'idea potrebbe essere interessante ma è scritta male, troppi dettagli inutili e poca storia, Dreampath è discreto ma senza stupore, Tortured non sta in piedi e ha un finale da baci Perugina, The Locksmith è forse il migliore ma il finale non mi convince, Trauma room non c'è proprio, Venus in red ho capito il colpo di scena alla prima pagina, Decode è inutilmente verboso e ripetitivo, The Null ha la stessa assenza di suspense di Venus ed è modellato sugli eroi cinematografici (o aspira a diventarne uno). Gli ultimi 4 li devo ancora leggere, ma per recensire la raccolta va bene così. Se tra i 4 che mancano dovessi trovare l'equivalente di Notturno di Asimov, o un Brown, aggiornerò la recensione.
