With the full support of Chairman Torre Rioja, the talks are proceeding slowly, but all signs are optimistic for a lasting resolution. However, the universe's greatest assassin has been unleashed upon the unsuspecting delegation members from the Confederation of Planets in an effort to halt the talks before any peace might be achieved. As in times past, Jarrod Tan, along with Kerry and Kyrie Rioja, have been called upon to protect the Alliance and safeguard the lives of the remaining delegation members, and perhaps the peace itself. The fate of the galaxy may once again rest in the hands of Jarrod Tan as he struggles with his own inner demons in the second novel of the series.
