Homesmind is an intelligent force that guides the fates of the inhabitants of the extraordinary world created by Pamela Sargent in her Watchstar trilogy, brought to you for the first time in e-book by E-Reads. Each novel focuses on another female, and in the climactic novel the stories come together in a comet-like blaze. Though it’s categorized as young adult it crosses over into a thrilling read for mature audiences too.

In the first novel, Watchstar , Daiya is faced with a dilemma that will determine her fate. If she fails, her life will be spent with the feared Merged Ones. Confused and torn between worlds near and far, she harbors a secret and must find a way to move to a safe place where she can survive.

In the second Eye of the Comet, young Lydee had always known this strange comet-world to be Home. She had always felt the presence and control of the omnipresent Homesmind. Struggling with her future, she discovers the destiny she is meant for–the fate she will fulfill within her community. And it frightens her…. She will act as a bridge between her comet Home and her species’ native Earth.

In  Homesmind, the capstone of the trilogy, Anra is a solitary, born without the power to mindspeak – communicate in unspoken thoughts. In the past, she would have been killed at birth but the arrival of the Wanderer, the comet controlled by the cybernetic intelligence known as the Homesmind has changed everything. The people of the comet, the skydwellers, now supply solitaries with implants that allow artificial mindspeaking. The solitaries are sequestered in a single village willing to care for such children.

Anra and her new brethren are thought to be the possible bridge between the people of Earth and the skydwellers but the gap may be too great: the people of Earth consider solitaries an abomination – and the skydwellers as soulless.
