A série de Kevin O'Donnell "As jornadas de McGill Feighan" .
"Caverns" is the first book in a (currently) four book series by Mr. O'Donnell. As the title implies, the focus is on a character named McGill Feighan. In this first book, the origin of McGill and the start of his adventerous life is revealed. "Caverns" is at first a light-hearted read, but you soon find yourself drawn into the life of the hero, his triumphs and despair. McGill is a "flinger", a person who can teleport anything (himself, other people, things) anywhere that he's been before. But even for a flinger, he does not lead a normal life due to unusual events in his life, when he was a newborn. Much of the story revolves around McGill's growing-up and learning to deal with his powers, as well as the assortment of people and aliens that take an interest in his life (both good and bad).

"Mort." He giggled. "Mort, I've change-rung a gold!"
Flingers aposentados tornam-se cada vez mais sensíveis psiquicamente. Encontrar um novo lançador reduz um pouco a dor, o que faz parte do motivo pelo qual eles ficam por perto para treiná-los.
