Review Summaries
"A group of people who had telepathic powers and has a spiritual being as a friend and protector is the main idea in the story.The people with the telepathic powers are called the Guardians. What happens is that a dreaded ghost called the Obonia follows a high ranking Guardian back home, its intent to destroy all of the Guardians and take control of the galaxy as much as it can. The warning about the destruction comes just in time, and the Guardians are forced to supress using their telepathic powers or risk being detected by the Obonia and get killed. The spiritual beings also sleep in a everlasting sleep until millions of years later a young boy with ashonishing powerful telepathic skills retrives the spiritual beings and works together to destroy the Obonia and restore order to the galaxy and bring the honored Guardians back to life. about in the middle, there is some romance when the boyfalls in love with a girl and eventually marries her."
