| 520 | _a"Jack of No Trades" by Evelyn E. Smith is a science fiction novel written in the early to mid-20th century. The story is set in a future where psychic abilities are common among the population. It explores themes of identity, belonging, and the struggle of an individual who lacks these powers in a society that prizes them. The central topic revolves around Kevin Faraday, a member of the psi-deficient class, who discovers his unique healing abilities in the midst of a looming war with extraterrestrial beings. In "Jack of No Trades," Kevin Faraday feels like an outcast in his telepathic family and society, which has little room for those without psychic powers. His life changes dramatically when a war with a hostile alien race forces him into action as he unexpectedly discovers an extraordinary gift for healing—something that no one else possesses. As Kevin rises to fame as a healer, he encounters both personal and professional challenges, particularly regarding his relationships with family and newfound love, Lucy. However, following the war's conclusion, he struggles with feelings of insignificance as he finds himself unwanted and unused once again, ultimately leading him to explore his capabilities further, including the ability to heal not just people but also things. The story concludes with a renewed sense of purpose for Kevin, focusing on the idea of using his abilities wisely and ethically, reflecting on human connections, and understanding his own identity beyond mere perception of power.
