New York Times Best-Selling Author Steve White collaborates with Compton Crook Award Winner Charles Gannon to continue the Starfire adventure saga. Following the war with the Arduans—alien invaders who arrived in STL ships—most are now productive citizens of the Rim Federation. However, many in the Arduan warrior caste refuse to accept defeat or recognize other intelligent races. Their leader, Admiral Amunsit, controls the Zarzuela system and, alongside a faction of peaceable Arduans, seeks allies among refugee fleets that abandoned their now-dead home system. As diplomatic efforts aim to ease tensions with these aggressive neighbors, two heroes from the previous conflict—Admiral Ian Trevayne and young troubleshooter Ossian Wethermere—uncover a deeper Arduan conspiracy that threatens the stability of the Pan-Sentient Union and potentially all of interstellar civilization. The narrative promises vivid battle sequences and thought-provoking themes, appealing to fans of fast-paced action and historically informed world-building.
