Kate and her spouse, Sam, are trying to work on their relationship while coming to terms with Sam's new powers when they receive information from their alien allies among the Skaldurans, hinting that the Thalkash, another alien species with a sinister agenda, are heading to Earth to capture Sam. Kate and Sam attempt to escape with Alex, a mutual friend and the source of their tension, but they end up on an alien world that seems to hold the answers about the origins of Sam's mysterious powers. They uncover a terrible secret about the source of Sam's gift. Now, they must decide if revealing their discovery is worth the almost inevitable intergalactic destruction that will follow in S.K. Johnston's Starsoul Awakening.
Starsoul Awakening is the first book in S.K. Johnston's The Starsoul Legacy series. Johnston uses a blend of short flashbacks, an intriguing prologue, and a detailed glossary to draw readers into the narrative. It reads smoothly as a standalone but still maintains some links to Johnston's other series, The Deception Chronicles Trilogy. This unique hybrid approach to character development links the books into a single, seamless adventure, regardless of the series. Johnston clearly explains the Skalduran and Thalkash power structures and motivations, captivating science fiction fans with a compelling mix of political intrigue and exciting spaceship dogfights as they explore each faction's motives. Romance enthusiasts will enjoy the intricacies of the romantic triangle between Kate, Alex, and Sam. Johnston complements the romance with carefully placed clues in an equally captivating mystery subplot that delves into the origins of Sam's gifts. The author's skill in weaving these subplots together with a fast-paced, vivid style creates an exciting adventure that readers will not want to put down.
