Synopsis
Turning Point is a 267 page science fiction novel Written by Lisanne Norman and first published in 1993. It is the first book in a series by Norman entitled The Sholan Alliance; this extensive series features the evolution of a relationship between cat-like aliens and humans that eventually leads to the emergence of a new species with higher psychic powers. These are the titles of the subsequent novels in the series in order: Fortune's Wheel, Fire Margins, Razor's Edge, Dark Nadir, Stronghold Rising, and Between darkness and light. The summary of Turning Point by DAW Books reads as follows: CUT OFF FROM EARTH by alien conquerors, the human colony on Keiss was slowly building an underground resistance in a move to take a stand against the Valtegan invaders. But for some of the colonists, it was already too late. When her twin sister Elise was captured by Valtegan soldiers, Carrie, telepathically and empathically linked to her, experienced all the pain and terror that her sister was suffering. Only her twin's death freed Carrie from torment, though it also left her completely alone in her own mind for the first time in her life. But this mental void was unexpectedly filled when Kusac, a felinoid crewman of a crashed starship, touched her thoughts. Drawn to him by their shared Talent, Carrie hid the injured Kusac from the Valtegans, and in so doing found a friend and an invaluable ally. Yet though the trust and understanding between Carrie and Kusac was soon unshakable, it would prove far more difficult to convince each of their races that their only hope of overthrowing the Valtegans was to band together against the common foe. And even such an alliance Offered no guarantee of success, for no one on any of the settled worlds had yet found a way to defeat this warrior race ready to lay waste to any civilization they could not conquer.
