Emerald Eyes is the first novel in the continuing time series. The timing of Emerald Eyes is in 50 years when the United Nations has assumed control over the earth sometimes by force as in the case of Japan and the United States. The French who backed the UN early are the ethnicity that now is in the ascendancy. Trying to genetically engineer humans to be better soldiers for them they create a race of telepaths the first of which is Carl Castanaveras. Most of the novel is about Carl's struggle to free the telepaths from being slaves in the service of the U.N.'s peacekeeping force. There's a lot going on beyond that in this novel because of the depth of Moran's world building. Quiet Vision Pub paperback
