Lava by Kevin O'Donnell

In a genre crowded with stories about people with psionic abilities, O'Donnell came up with four books that seemed novel, fun and well-written.

Caverns by Kevin O'Donnell

This series (never really finished) of four books is long out of print but worth picking up if you happen to encounter it.

Cliffs by Kevin O'Donnell

I was sorry that this series didn't continue after this book. It was original and fun...and some of the sub-stories hadn't been resolved. I wonder what happened?
