Publisher's Synopsis
The greatest crime in the history of the universe has taken place, and one father and son will be the people to bring it to lighta]if they live long enough to find the truth. For 609,000 years the galaxy has been in relative peace. At the center of this peace is a vast trading alliance, the Free World Trade Alliance. The alliance has grown complacent in its position and has turned a blind eye to dangers from outside and within. If the dangers are not addressed, the alliance will find loss of trade the least of its worries. Thrown into the midst of this controversy is Brian Norcheck, a low-ranking diplomat for the Terran ambassador. But it is Brian who will begin to discover there may be far more than the alliance at stake if the dangers that are approaching are not confronted.
