Teek (Paperback)

by Steven Krane (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
It began with an undercover government agency, and agency experimenting with genetic breeding, their goal to develop and enhance specific mental powers--to create teeks. But not everone was willing to be a guinea pig, and have their children turned into some sort of monstrous mutation--so some of the experiments escaped. But now the agency was deterimined to track them down no matter what the cost. And with loyal teeks doing the hunting, how could they fail?...

Priase for Steven Krane:

"Plunges the reader into the seamier side of vampire politics...moves swiftly from one mystery to the next."-- Locus, for Raven

"Lots of exciting scenes, an entertainingly nasty villain, and a rousing finale."-- Science Fiction Chronicle, for The Flesh, The Blood, And The Fire

5.0 out of 5 stars Page Turner, Starring Loveable Teen, December 16, 2000

By	Mary A. Turzillo "Marite" (Cleveland, OH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I couldn't put this down. Krane (his other names are Swiniarski and Swann) is really developing as a writer. He's young, and maybe that's what gives his prose that energy, and maybe it's why he understands his heroine so clearly. You have to love her; she's not some cold super-talent, but instead a real girl whose vulnerability makes you really care.

I loved it, and I want to read more by this guy!

3.0 out of 5 stars A fun read, more of a three and a half, but what do you do?, January 10, 2000

By	"[e-mail]" (Hagerstown, MD USA) - See all my reviews

This book wasn't the most original of ideas, but it did do a good job of exploring the way that psychic powers work and can be used. I thought, the characters were unique, enjoyable, and well rounded. I particularly enjoyed Macy. She is someone that I would like to know. The relationship between Allie and Chuck was creative and entertaining. There were some areas that I thought were glossed over a little too quickly (like Allie's mom), and the book needed an epiloque, at least, but it is definitely worth a read. It is fun and quick.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book is good clean fun., August 28, 1999

By A Customer

I really enjoyed this book. It isn't great literature but it is a good read. The concepts behind telekenesis are well thought out and interesting. I found myself liking the main characters even though the characters are a little one demensional. If you like books about the paranormal you'll like this book.
