Publisher's Synopsis
When a battle-damaged spacecraft comes down in the night, a few wish to meet the pilot, learn from those who visit us from space. A government agency wants to strip it any usable weapons, and keep the pilot in a dark room, should they survive entry into the atmosphere and the fighters they have waiting. Far Edge Scout Kii-jin finds herself wanted when she ends up coming down in the woods while tracking a dangerous species. She isn't real concerned; she went to a school to learn how to deal with these problems and has a orbiting probe to help her, and the authority to destroy the planet... if she feels it necessary.
