A human-idomeni hybrid with a very bad reputation, former Captian Jani Kilian is out of hiding and officially a civilian. But peace is not an option. Suddenly an important player in the Commonwealth's delicate dealings with the alien idomeni, Jani has inadvertently incurred the wrath of top powers in politics, finance, diplomacy, and crime. Her war is not yet over, just moving to a higher plane. There's no truth to the time worn adage that old soliders never die; they do ... and sometimes badly. Jani Killian's come back to a new world that's not brave but definitley in peril. And "kill or be killed" is her only real choice ... because now only one law remains.
