The Alux, a brutal alien race that feeds upon the non-telepathic races of the galaxies, threaten to destroy everything in their path. The soul-devouring species leaves nothing but emptiness and death in its wake. The Cosmos Coalition formed to protect against such threats. As one of its leaders, Princess Teagan of House Probus is a primary target. When the Alux attack Parvac once again, Teagan and her crew are hurled into a dire fight for survival. Far from home and with only their own strengths upon which to rely, they race to find a means of defeating the deadly threat to the inhabitants of the known galaxies. Thrown off course into distant space, new allies are made, but not all of them can be trusted. There are those who help and those who betray. Teagan, her team, and the fates of those who are in the path of the Alux threat depend upon the cooperation of one male, a master thief from a distant sector of space. However, Colwyn Winks Taylor isn't known for playing by the rules or for possessing a predictable nature. What results is anyone's guess.
