New York Times Best-Selling Author Steve White, teams up with
Compton Crook Award Winner Charles Gannon to carve another notch in the
Starfire adventure saga.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ASSIMILATION FAILS?
The war with the Arduans--profoundly alien invaders who originally
arrived in STL ships--is over. Most of those attackers are now
probationary (and very productive) citizens of the Rim Federation.
However, many among the Arduans' warrior caste have accepted neither
defeat nor the personhood of any of the other intelligence races. Their
leader, the ruthless admiral of the second Arduan exodus-- Amunsit--is
in firm control of the Zarzuela system. Along with a fifth column among
the peaceable Arduans, she hopes to find allies in subsequent refugee
fleets that abandoned their race's now-dead home system long ago.
But as the victors' diplomats attempt to soothe tensions with these
warlike neighbors, two heroes of the last war--veteran Admiral Ian
Trevayne and young trouble-shooter Ossian Wethermere--suspect they have
stumbled upon a deeper Arduan plot: one which could shatter the
Pan-Sentient Union, and perhaps interstellar civilization itself.
