Book Three in Nebula Award nominated and Compton Crook Award winning series. Science fiction adventure on a grand scale.

Caine Riordan, reluctant diplomatic and military intelligence operative, has just finished playing his part repulsing the Arat Kur’s and Hkh’Rkh’s joint invasion of Earth.

But scant hours after the attackers surrender, the mysterious but potentially helpful Slaasriithi appeal to Caine to shepherd a diplomatic mission on a visit to their very alien worlds. The possible prize: a crucial alliance in a universe where the fledgling Consolidated Terran Republic has very few friends.

But Caine and his legation aren’t the only ones journeying into the unknown reaches of Slaasriithi space. A group of renegade K’tor are following them, hoping to destroy humanity’s hopes for a quick alliance. And that means finding and killing Caine Riordan.

Assuming that the bizarre and dangerous Slaasriithi lifeforms don’t do it first.

    I enjoyed the latest edition of this Caine Riordan series. The way the author uses alien psychology to help the story was interesting and, at times, frustrating - just like dealing with alien psychology will probably be.

    The open ending, preparing us for the next novel left me ready to throw more of my money at Mr. Gannon. Hurry up! Get back to the keyboard! (whip cracking sound)

    You won't feel cheated if you get this book. Make sure to read the first two as well. They help understand who is who and why many things are happening.

    Great work. In a sea of books infected with fantasy and magic, this series stands out for its rationality and lack of fantasy and magic and being down to earth among the stars. Looking forward to the next book. Keep 'em coming.

    A great continuation of this series, which is still building momentum. Fantastic world building, both in the physical and biological sense and in the socio-cultural implications grow out of the hard science. Caine is a great character - Heinlein's capable man. Dialogue is well done and political situations ring true.
