kareila: a lady in glasses holding a stack of books (books)

(NB: later republished as Earth Force Rising)

This is a juvie sci-fi story with an interesting premise: some centuries after breeding autistic-type traits out of the human gene pool, the interstellar Earth Force discovers they need to breed the traits back into a new generation of astronaut-soldiers, who will have the increased sensitivity needed to use alien technology to "bound" through space in quantum leaps and fight off a secret alien threat. The story spans the first six weeks of training for the new cadets, and offers to set up a whole series of adventures. Not as thrilling as Ender's Game, but not as problematic either.
