Synopsis

Fifty thousand years ago, a meteorite hit the planet Asto, giving its Aghyrian inhabitants mere days of notice. Three ships escaped the Armageddon. Two went to the neighbouring planet. The third, a massive generation ship, refused to take on refugees, and then vanished without a trace.It’s coming back.Its initial burst of communication caused the outage of the Exchange, the FTL network for transport and communication, but since then the ship has been silent. It jumps about at random, using wormholes it generates with a drive the likes of which no one has seen before.Meanwhile at the gamra assembly, people jostle to be in the best positions when it inevitably turns up in inhabited space. What the ship wants or whether there is anyone on board no one knows, but diplomat Cory Wilson knows one thing: when it turns up, he must avoid a conflict at all cost.If only gamra presented a united viewpoint. If only Asto’s army wasn’t keen to get involved. If only the Aghyrians at gamra didn’t do what they do best: manipulate and play games with everyone. While the ship approaches, the delegates bicker, and the time for negotiating is fast running out.

Goodreads review by James

Lush worldbuilding and good plot; some problematic stereotypes I read this book in one sitting. It was engaging and suspenseful, complicated enough to be intriguing while being easy to follow. I mark this as a 4-star read for a few reasons. Firstly, voice: the characters did not have very unique voice......more

It was "good" I liked it but.....? Cory Wilson is the new ambassador for Earth at a 'galactic UN' type organization. The President of the Earth has been murdered by unknown parties but aliens are suspected. Can Cory solve the crime and bring peace to the galaxy? (he would find it a lot easier if he kept......more

Goodreads review by Nooilforpacifists

Decent space opera, wound around a young Earth diplomat who seems, at any moment, to be over his head. Many sequels.......more
