#3 in the science fiction adventure Orphans Legacy series, a saga of spy games and military action on an interplanetary scale.
The balance point of interplanetary Cold War II between Earth and monolithic Yavet tips unexpectedly toward peace. Covert ops Captain Jazen Parker and his sharp shooting lover and partner Kit Born slide from world saving hazardous duty to escorting a telepathic alien monster home from Earth to mate. And the two of them are forced to consider a quiet domestic future together.
But when old enemies thirsts for power and revenge, Jazens problematic past, and his former girlfriend, upset Jazen and Kits personal balance point, the two cold warriors find their relationship, and their very survival, tested as never before.
Lost in space, and from one another, they must each penetrate Yavet, the universes most insular and repressive world, then foil a plot that could turn Cold War II hot and nuclear¾or die trying.
