Originally, this was part of the single-volume Rules of Magic, but due to many issues with a book longer than classic Russian literature, Tolkien, or Melville's works, it needed to be broken into 5 volumes of a standard size. This is volume 2, Journals 7-13 of Lee Günter O'Neil. In Volume 1, Lee figured out telekinesis, made some money, and has both a drug cartel looking to kill him. While Lee has survived, his mother and father did not, and Lilly, his friend with benefits who gave him the clues to telekinesis, is also dead. Grandpa and Lee are in the market for a little payback and think a good offense is the best defense for this situation. The US government agency for secret stuff wants to know why the cartel wants him dead. The problem is the agent in charge; Max is Lee's childhood friend who, the last time they interacted, got a cannabis charge. Max beat the charge, but Lee didn't, ending his career and positive relationship with his parents. Now, Serina, Lilly's sister, who is the agency's contracted scientist to study psychics, has questions that can lead to testing/vivisection. Are they the good guys or worse than the cartel who just wants him dead? How does Lee keep everyone safe? Considering his track record, it is not looking good. He does have a talent that evens the playing field, it may not be a fair fight but they did start it.
