The Tower and the Hive series (also known as the Rowan and the Talents series) is a sci-fi series by Anne McCaffrey.The series is set against a backdrop of a technologically advanced future society in which telepathy, telekinesis and other psychic abilities have become scientifically accepted and researched. Telekinetic and telepathic powers are used to communicate and teleport spaceships through space, thus avoiding the light barrier and allowing for the colonization of other solar systems. Books in the series include: The Rowan (1990): The story of The Rowan, an orphaned Prime Talent, as she deals with life, loneliness and a possible alien invasion. Damia (1992): The Rowan's sequel is part straight sequel, part-P.O.V. Sequel and part backstory for Afra Lyon, a secondary character from the previous book. The book is mostly about the relationship between Afra and the most important women in his life (his beloved older sister, The Rowan and The Rowan's middle child, Damia). And another alien invasion. Damia's Children (1993) and Lyon's Pride (1994) stars Damia and Afra's kids who work with humanity's new alien allies, the Mrdini, to deal with the threat of the Hivers - the insectoid race responsible for the attacks in The Rowan. The Tower and The Hive (1999): The wrap-up to the threat of the Hivers (and probably the series itself after McCaffrey's death).The origins of the scientific recognition of Talents, and of the interstellar network, are depicted in the To Ride Pegasus trilogy.Two early short stories, "The Lady in the Tower" and "A Meeting of Minds", were written in 1959 and 1969, and collected in Get Off the Unicorn; edited versions of the stories were incorporated into The Rowan and Damia. | |

| Tower and the Hive / int_13d2ffe1 | comment |
Humanity Is Superior: The Mrdini have been fighting the Hivers for hundreds of years. Humanity figures out how to swat them down for good within a couple of generations (during which the Hivers were only briefly a real threat). | |

Gone Horribly Wrong: Because the Mrdini planets are so overpopulated, some high officials decide to perform an experiment in a popular hibernatory to see if they can reduce the birth rate. It ends up killing hundreds and badly injuring even more. | |

Single Issue Psychosis: Subverted: Even as Prime Travel Sickness was found to have a single, psychosomatic cause, none of the older Primes could travel off-planet and The Rowan is explicitly shown as trying to work past it. In later books, The Rowan is explicitly stated as never leaving Callisto outside of emergencies. | |

Your Mind Makes It Real | |
| Tower and the Hive / int_234073a4 | comment |
Your Mind Makes It Real: The Primes' travel sickness was actually Siglen mentally imprinting her own condition (an inner-ear condition that gave her vertigo on long teleports) on every other Prime of the timenote Peter Reidinger, David of Betelgeuse, Capella and The Rowan. It didn't occur to them that this wasn't "just the way things were" until Jeff Raven showed up - a completely untrained Prime-level Talent who could teleport at will with no ill effects. Subsequent books showed The Rowan as able to teleport long distances if needed, but preferring not to. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Tower and the Hive / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc Zara's mental connection with the captive Hiver queen at the end of Damia's Children. It looked to be forshadowing Zara's part in the ultimate endgame, but was pretty much shrugged off with "No one knows how she did it, not even Zara," and she was eventually Put on a Bus (shipped off to train as a medical Prime). Similarly, Damia made a point of speculating on the effects of the anti-hiver mega-merge on The Rowan's second child, Cera (in-utero at the time) and the subsequent attempt to bond her to her older brother, Jeran, to try and stablize her. Unlike their younger siblings, Daria and Larak, that bond was never portrayed, in-story, outisde of mentions in Damia of very young Jeran and Cera being extra close, to the blatant exclusion of Damia. And outside of a throwaway line about Cera having "odd notions", nothing came of the "possible effects" angle. | |

Power Levels | |
| Tower and the Hive / int_324e2fcf | comment |
Power Levels: The Talents are ranked in power from T12 (just enough power to register) to Prime (T1). To have a T1 designation requires both telepathy and telekinesis with potentially unlimited power; a superpowerful telepath or telekinetic is rated at T2. It isn't a fixed designation, though: it's perfectly possible to increase one's Talent rating over time, especially if you're working closely with very powerful Talents. Afra is rated T4 as a child, but by the time of the end of the series is T2, with some believing that he's borderline-Prime level (though still nowhere near his wife or children). This is partially because Damia has the ability to "boost" other Talents in her gestalt, and due to long association it became permanent in Afra. Either way, though, Afra is certainly treated with the respect due a Prime, partially due to his closeness with Jeff, the Rowan and Damia but mostly due to his own subtle and gentle but undeniable charisma and commanding nature. | |

Lovable Alpha Bitch | |
| Tower and the Hive / int_3287773c | comment |
Lovable Alpha Bitch: The Rowan is undisputably a good person, but she's very aware of her exalted status as a Prime (and one of the strongest, before Jeff Raven enters the picture), has poor social skills due to being raised in-house at FT&T and trained by Siglen, and is prone to temper tantrums. She mellows out a bit after meeting Afra, then getting married to Jeff Raven, but she's still a bit of a prima donna and it takes a team of Fire-Forged Friends to work as her support team. FT&T takes advantage of this when a diplomatic incident breaks out and they need to send someone to indicate their displeasure; Rowan is very intimidating, even to the Mrdini. | |

Death Is Cheap | |
| Tower and the Hive / int_37fcf16 | comment |
Death Is Cheap: For some Mrdini. They're born to parents, like humans, but unlike humans, the Mrdini parents can get together and essentially create another Mrdini that is exactly the same as the dead one. Unfortunately, if one or both of the parents die, this obviously isn't possible. When the hibernatory on Clarf has a power failure, the result is catastrophic because so many who died couldn't be recreated, or couldn't recreate others who died. | |

Telepathic Spacemen: The Rowan series has psychics as not only the means of communication between colonized star systems, but also the means of transportation (via Psychic Teleportation) that makes such colonies possible to begin with.

My Greatest Failure: For Damia it was accidentally burning out the psychic potential of her first lover, partially from inexperience, and partially because she ignored Afra's advice to "be careful" out of spite (she assumed he meant "birth control"; he meant "keep your mental shields up or you'll fry the boy.") | |

Zara's mental connection with the captive Hiver queen at the end of Damia's Children. It looked to be forshadowing Zara's part in the ultimate endgame, but was pretty much shrugged off with "No one knows how she did it, not even Zara," and she was eventually Put on a Bus (shipped off to train as a medical Prime). | |

Department of Child Disservices: Subverted — No one thinks giving the Rowan to Siglen to be trained as a Prime is the best idea — Siglen is a great Prime but an otherwise horrible person. But there's no one else on the planet qualified to teach her and sending her elsewhere would do more harm than good, thanks to Travel Sickness. | |

Easily Thwarted Alien Invasion: Once the Talents figure out where the engine cores of Hiver ships were and develop the strategy of teleporting live warheads directly into them, the conflict becomes mostly about finding ways to stop the Hivers without committing genocide. Later, humanity found a pheromone combination that turned the Hivers from Borg-like aggressive conquerors to more docile, agrarian types. | |

Lamarck Was Right | |

Lamarck Was Right: The Rowan's hair turned white because of trauma, and her descendants' white streaks are a family trait. (Of course, at least one previous Talent was strongly suspected of being capable of manipulating genetics, as an extension of healing nerve damage, so this might be from an unintentional case on the Rowan's part.) | |

Superpowerful Genetics | |
| Tower and the Hive / int_dc2c2968 | comment |
Superpowerful Genetics: As Talents began producing offspring together, more and stronger Talents came forth. This becomes a case of controversy in the final books, as it's pointed out that this means the Gwyn-Raven-Lyon clan essentially owns the FT&T organization because 90% of all Prime Talents are related to that family. It's treated as a big deal that one of the neophyte Primes from The Tower And The Hive isn't part of that family (She's David of Betelgeuse's granddaughter). However, it's also evident that, prior to Jeff Raven's and the Rowan's rise to prominence, many Prime talents, such as Siglen and Capella, deliberately isolated themselves from social interaction to a great degree, and the comparative lack of Prime-level talent at the beginning of The Rowan was due to the fact that high-level talents simply weren't having children (with the Reidinger family as the notable exception). While it's controversial, the lack of Primes means that it's not like the Gwyn-Raven-Lyon clan beat out the competition- there just isn't any, and the need for Primes far outstrips the numbers. | |

The only actual Mrdini speech we see are their names (like "Prtglm"), but even then the human characters come up with pet names for 'Dinis they know personally ("Gil" and "Kat" for "Grl" and "Ktg"). | |
