Synopsis

A rift in space that shouldn’t exist. A secret that can unite humanity, or ignite its destruction.  Alex Solovy is a lone wolf starship pilot with a talent for uncovering the hidden secrets of uncharted space. When she follows a hunch into a forbidden nebula and encounters a mysterious rift tearing the fabric of space itself, Alex stumbles into a conspiracy powerful enough to rewrite humanity’s place in the universe—or erase it entirely.  Across the galaxy, Caleb Marano, a covert operative for the fiercely independent Senecan Federation, is chasing dangerous secrets of his own. When their paths explosively collide, Alex and Caleb must forge an uneasy alliance. Now they’re the only thing standing between rival superpowers poised to shatter a fragile peace and ignite all-out war.  As shadowy conspiracies unravel and ruthless enemies close in, they must outmaneuver political betrayals, mysterious alien machinations, and their own deep-seated distrust in a desperate gambit to save civilization from destruction. The fate of humanity hangs by a thread—and no matter what happens, the galaxy will never be the same.  Starshine is the thrilling first novel in an epic space opera trilogy packed with heart-pounding adventure, unforgettable characters, and high-stakes intrigue. For fans of The Expanse, Mass Effect, Peter F. Hamilton, and Iain Banks, this electrifying journey through cosmic mysteries, galactic warfare, and the great unknown between the stars will keep you turning pages late into the night.

This is an astounding work by an indie author G.S. Jensen employing some very interesting scientific speculations like Genetic Engineering, Alcubieré Warp Drive hypothesis and even bio/nano tech all interwoven to make this into a somewhat Mil Hard Sci-Fi space opera book, albeit with a few holes in......more

Goodreads review by Daniel on October 03, 2020

My impression of Starshine is that of a novel that tries to do too much and thus accomplishes nothing very well. As a science fiction novel, it plays fast and loose with science. As a commentary on society 300-years into the future, it simply uses society as it presently exists today. As a mystery n......more

Goodreads review by Emily on January 26, 2016

This book commits one of my biggest book pet peeves. The entire thing is just a long build up for the next book. There is no kind of story resolution whatsoever. I realize a lot of books in a series end on minor cliffhangers, or leave questions, but this book is 100% ramp up for the main story. It e......more

Goodreads review by J.S. on May 14, 2015

Whoa. I repeat: whoa. Every so often a story or a movie fills me with such awe that I really don't know what to say. (This is a good thing, I promise!) Starshine is an intricate novel. There is the central story of Alex and Caleb, who go to investigate a mysterious anomaly at the center of a nebula in......more
