He attempts to join an expedition to a planet thirty seven light years away which has strange lifeforms. Already trading with an alien starship and the lost world of its origin, Lunar Federation opens diplomatic relations with Erdron, a planet with a dying sun whose administration shuns outside contact. Still trying to understand the giant ship's organic control systems, a Lunar Federation team rescues the unpredictable vessel when it runs out of control towards the galactic hub, replacing the Navigator Adepts who have lost their piloting skills with rehabilitated technology thief Leighton Carmody. The principals of Chovy Psychoanalytic Foundation remain silent on their findings, then disappear without trace followed by time-traveler Clinton Schoenberg. As Federation Chairman Bryan Hammond battles to understand new alien technologies in the universe he thought he knew so well, an enigmatic woman no one has seen before seduces Carmody, the only source of his desperately needed abilities. *** Quantity Available: 1.
