Negotiator. Diplomat. Woman. Ambassador Emily Tyria is on a mission from the New Star Alliance to negotiate with the council of the planet Aquarius. The Aquarians face a deadly threat in the monstrosity known as the Ixthix. These horrible bug like creatures are eating up the planet's surface, and only the New Star Alliance has the fire power to combat them. However, that's not all there is to the mystery surrounding the people of Aquarius. Given little to nothing to go on, the people of Aquarius appear to be hiding something. Flying mostly blind, Emily must navigate her way around her new assignment, and her bodyguard, Balgar. Can Emily help this alien race, with their tentacled bodies and brightly colored necks? Or is it her own neck that's on the line here?
