Behind the Novel
An alien ship threatens humanity with a planet-purging weapon aimed at Earth and an army of millions ready to hunt down survivors. Earth Ambassador Omra Penya is sent to negotiate with their leader, a human exile named Lucas. She discovers an established order among the stars, filled with thousands of civilizations and alliances. Even Lucas, an emperor to those beneath him, still answers to someone. As Omra faces one danger after another, she finds herself asking, "Who is the real enemy?"
