This is the third of the five-book set originally published as the box set of the Rules of Magic. If you haven't read the first two volumes this will be confusing. The realities of 21st-century publishing have some odd requirements. But as long as you are here. A quick recap is Lee Günter O'Neil has shared his journals or his recollections of obtaining psionic abilities, as distinguished from psychic in that psionic powers can be developed and everyone has the potential, whereas psychic powers seem to be more an affliction than a skill set.
In the last set of Journals, we learned that Lee, with the help of Serenia, Lilly's sister, has discovered a treasure trove of instructional materials and probably has worked out how to use psionic gifts without burning out his brain. In a bit of a surprise, Max & Isabel had a double wedding with Lee & Serina, with Lee to be the last to see this coming. Grandma's dying request was for Lee & Serina to wake up, smell the lust, I mean the love they have, and just get married. The government is protecting Serina, their chief scientist who has found something to this magic stuff, and Lee is being extended some protective services as both the wife of Serina and because he has found the psychological weak spot of the drug cartels. Considering the drug cartel's connections to terrorism and the national threat that they represent, they are happy to support Lee. Just like with Al Capone, it may have been a small tax charge that was the cheap shot, but it worked; so, with Lee, it may be the drug cartel cannot deal with a pudgy bill collector getting the drop on one of their people, if it brings them down, everyone is happy to for the results.
Look for the box set as the individual books fees add up to be more.
