Learning Fear by B. A. Chepaitis



On a prison planet, Jaguar Addams uses her empathic abilities to enter the minds of Earth's worst criminals--and forces them to face the fears that drive them to their most desperate acts. Now, someone is telepathically invading Jaguar's mind--and stirring up her own fears...
 
Jaguar Addams is a teacher on Planetoid 12.  Back in the day, mass murders were taking place.  The prison system wasn't working, so the powers that be decided to go to space, planetoids, and built prison systems there with psychic treatment.  It is their hope that eventually these criminals will be rehabilitated and sent back to planet earth.  Jaguar's job is to get into the minds of these criminals.
 
But, due to some events in the first two books of this series (this is book three), the government thinks Jaguar has lost her marbles and sends her to New York State University to teach a course.  When she gets there, though, someone tries to enter HER mind.  She immediately takes action to reveal who the culprit is, and why.  But what she doesn't realize until it's almost too late that by doing so, she puts her life in jeopardy.
 
B.A. Chepaitis is exceptionally gifted with science fiction urban fantasy writing.  Her world-building is unique and very high-tech.  I find myself immersed in her world and characters, not knowing what will happen next.  I can't wait to get my hands on the next in this series!

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave a comment. It's appreciated.
