Publisher's summary

A tale of a woman and her stardrake....

Kayla’s parents had always told her that they would get her a stardrake when she was older....

They died and never did.

Now on the verge of graduating from StarCorps Academy with her PhD, Kayla decides the time is right and volunteers for a service drake raising program.

It lasts one year.

At the end, she must return the stardrake so it can be trained and paired with an owner who needs it.

Expecting it to be all cuddles and cuteness, Kayla is unprepared when she is given Barnabus, a bundle of trouble. He turns her life upside down, putting her whole academic career in jeopardy.

Will she even last the year?

If she does, how can she give up something she has started to love?

Inspired by a true story, The Stardrake Effect is an emotionally resonant tale stuffed with laughter, friendship, spaceships, and heartbreak.

Space Dogs

Note: I listened to this book through audible, and I highly recommend you do the same; Marti Dumas does an excellent job bring the Kayla to life.

Scott King does a great job capturing the university experience, minus the surviving on ramen part (unless that was just me). If you're a lover of dogs, you'll love the relationship between Kayla and her stardrake. I'd love to see a sequel that explores another stardrake that acts more like a cat, with an utter indifference to the plot.

A fast, fun, read. Best enjoyed as an audio book.
