131 Rough Diamond by Ernest Bywater

An Australian schoolboy discovers he can move small objects with his mind. His family moves to Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA and he uses his special skill to 'win' money at casinos.

135 Preservation & Protection, Book 2 by radio_guy

Derived from the stories of FrankSpeaks in SOL
If I titled one as Book 1, there had to be a Book 2! More suprises are here. This one picks up at the end of Book2A of Destruction Aftermath and Book 1 of P&P. It's somewhat short but is, I hope, a good read.

I spent 18 years preparing for a war that never happened. This is what might have happened had the USSR attacked in the early 1990's. My hero's roll is small, yet pivotal.
