Re: OT: Can\'t remember name of science fiction nov
Could it be one of these books? http://listsofbests.com/list/29/
Or Here
I would post on some book sites and ask those folks. Good luck man. (Ask Powells book store I am sure someone there might know.)

Mutant, written in 1953 by Kuttner, comes close but is not the book. Aargh!

Re: OT: Can\'t remember name of science fiction novel
I don't think this is it, but...
Slan by A. E. van Vogt
is as close as I can come.
It has been a long time since I have read it. I don't remember the girl part, but it had telipathic people and it was illegal to be telepathic.

Another book that is similar but not "my" book.  I'm really thinking I could just plagiarize from memory, re-write it, and collect the rewards.  (That's supposed to be a pirate.) Seems like several authors have already plagiarized each other to some degree!

Re: OT: Can\'t remember name of science fiction nov
I thought it was Slan too, but that didn't quite fit.
You might try spending the day at the library browsing the science fiction section.
One side benefit of this, spending the day googling the word telepath brings you to some really "interesting" websites.

Re: OT: Can\'t remember name of science fiction nov
Ooooooh, writing contest. Sounds fun. Course I'm concentrating on Hell is For Heroes right now, so I might not have time.
OR....
I could just make Alice telepathic! Victory would be mine!
I won't though, coz she's no where near creepy enough to be a telepath in that universe, and plus it'd just make her WAY too similar to River from Firefly. So Alice'll just have to remain mind-blind. And points if you can tell me what work of fiction that term is from.
dmn, I think I may have read the book you're referring to, despite being under 35, and I'm kicking myself trying to remember the title. I might still even have my copy back home in Dublin, so I'll see what I can scrounge up when I get back.
