Stars Nile Etlund.īaen's collections (in publication order) are: This doesn't really matter for the lesser recurring characters, whose stories don't have strong continuity or chronology but volume 2, containing the Telzey and Trigger team-up stories, is definitely set after, and contains significant spoilers for, the solo Trigger stories in volume 3. There were also some kinks in the release order: it was decided to release all the Telzey Amberdon stories first, with the result that every Telzey team-up story appears before the story introducing the character she's teaming up with. The reissue attracted some controversy among long-standing fans because of the editor's decision to tighten up a few of the stories, a process that in some cases more closely resembled major surgery. Beyond that, there are a handful of stories featuring other minor characters, some of whom have smaller roles in the main Telzey/Trigger storyline.īaen Books have brought the series back into print in recent years. In addition, there is one short novel and one short story starring biologist Nile Etland though Nile never encounters Telzey or Trigger. There are also several stories and one short novel starring or co-starring the young student Trigger Argee, who gets caught up in interplanetary intrigue, and later in the series, becomes friends with Telzey. The majority of the stories (and the majority of the words in the series) are about teenaged psychic Telzey Amberdon. The series as a whole is considered memorable as one of the earliest in mainstream SF to feature strong female leads.Īlmost all of the stories feature one or more of three different young women. They are connected by their setting, an interstellar federation in the far future located toward the center of the galaxy.
