How did Psi Corps begin?

Hello to all...I'm new here, this is my first post.

I've never heard/seen anything on how the Psi Corps started. I gather it was to protect "normals", but I can't find anything more specific.

Hi there and welcome

This is how the psi corp came about-

I highly recommend reading the first book of the Psi Corp novel trilogy. It goes into how the first telepaths were discovered and how the Psi Corps came about from a government agency.

Thank you for both welcoming and enlightening me. My local bookstores aren't exactly bastions of quality sci-fi, but they can probably order them in for me.

I second GKarsEye's recommendation. Here is the thread where I posted some information on the books, including the ISBN numbers (which, if used, will make it less likely that the bookstore will order the wrong book for you).
Book Info.

The thread title is "Crusade Books", but don't let that confuse you. There currently are no Crusade Books.

The book you want is Dark Genesis and is listed in my February 04, 2002 06:09 AM post in the above thread. It's also in the Excel spreadsheet of my February 04, 2002 04:29 AM post. When reading Dark Genesis, it pays to take notes so that you can keep everything straight (aliases, bloodlines, dates of specific events, etc.).

Here are the notes I made for Dark Genesis (don't read them until you've read the book).

I think these books are still available from Amazon.com in the US and in Canada from Indigo Books. In the UK from WHSmith.
