Having glimpsed Kael’s destiny from the Eternal Realm, Adair struggles to find his role in the life of a son who no longer needs him. Through a global maze of counterintelligence and espionage, a multinational team of operatives has to survive long enough to turn the tide of war. And a father and son will discover how to rebuild what was taken from their lives.
In book five of the bestselling Awakened series, Jason Tesar’s epic saga escapes the islands of Scandinavia for the dark forests and rugged mountains of Russia in a tense conflict of subterfuge that blurs the boundaries between sci-fantasy and military fiction.

About the author
Jason Tesar
24 books215 followersThe third of four children and an introvert from the start, Jason Tesar grew up as an imaginative “middle child” who enjoyed the make-believe world as much as the real one, possibly more. From adolescence to adulthood, his imagination continued to feed itself on a diet of books, movies, and art, all the while growing and maturing—waiting for its opportunity. Then, during a procession of monotonous, physically laborious day-jobs, his imagination leaped into motion, bringing together characters and locations of a world that would someday come to life on the pages of a book.
In late 1998, Jason made his first attempt at writing, managing to complete a whole scene before returning once again to reality. A year and a half later, a spontaneous night-time conversation with his wife encouraged him to take his writing seriously and to keep on dreaming. Over the next seven years, Jason carved time out of the real world to live in an imaginary one of epic fantasy, science-fiction, and military/political conflict. The fruits of this labor would later become the first three books of the bestselling AWAKENED series.
Due to the incredible support from readers around the world, Jason continued his trajectory into make-believe, jumping from stable employment in the micro-electronics industry into the mysterious abyss of full-time writing.
Living in Colorado with his beautiful wife and two children, Jason now spends the majority of his time fusing the best parts of his favorite genres into stories of internal struggle and triumph, friendship, betrayal, political alliances, and military conflict.

I didn't like this one as much as the previous 4. At first I thought the author was going to make Adair weak, thankfully he started to be the badass he is later in the story. I'm looking forward to Book 6!

Another mind bender from Jason Tesar.
The Awakened Book Five had me on the edge of my seat. I love these books. Just when I think it can't get any more complex, another twist that I did not see coming, puts me back on the edge. Keep them coming Jason!

I thought it was the last one, so was a bit disappointed with another open ended ending. Enjoyed it, though.

I love this series. However, I don't love the open ending.

Really enjoying this series and looking forward to book 6. I appreciate the backstory, character descriptions and maps. Would be a 4 star if not for the multiple typos. Gets a little distracting.
