It’s 2114. Cory Wilson thought he was about to start an exciting job: to be a diplomat representing Earth’s interests at the assembly of gamra, the network of interstellar travel. But at his last meeting with the president of Nations of Earth, someone throws a bomb into the window. Cory’s (extra-terrestrial) colleague is suspected, and so begins a tale of tension, bluster, tall politics, danger and good old shoot-em-up adventure.

This is a self-contained story, book 1 of a series that will appeal to readers of Elizabeth Moon and the Miles Vorkorsigan series. $0.99 on Kindle.
