The latest installment in the Soul-Linked Sagas by Laura Jo Phillips is one of the best.Faith Myers has certainly had her share of tragedy in her life.  Not only is her entire family dead, but Faith had been the innocent victim in a crime-related scene, which left her disfigured, sterile and physically frail.  Having nothing left to lose, Faith decides to accept an invitation from Hope Bearen to visit Jasan.  On arrival, Faith looks out the window and sees an Xanti aircraft right next to the Skyport.  The Xanti are at war with the Jasan.  This wouldn't have been so remarkable except Faith watched it come out of a "jump" point in space, and what's even wilder, Faith is the only one who can see it.  Reporting it to the authorities causes a series of events that lands Faith in the role of the "Unblind" - a person used by the Jasani to see and track Xanti aircraft traveling in their airspace.  Not only does this give the Jasani an instant advantage in the war, but they also start discovering other jump points in space that shave literally years and weeks off of space travel.  Assigned to Faith are the security advisors of the world - the Falcorans.  It isn't too long after meeting that Faith and the three men realize they have found their soul-mates.  The trouble is neither the men nor Faith want one.  The story is basically a journey of Faith discovering her strength, and the Falcorans learning to trust again.If you haven't read these books, you really are missing out on great world-building and a very clever and engrossing story.  In this book, Phillips has reached out and grabbed various threads wrapping them up in a neat bow.  There are very few things left to resolve and only one more clan - The Tigrenca - to involve in this series, leading me to believe that the next book or two will be the last of it.  Don't miss them.
