The Eqbas have come, bringing justice, change, hope to some . . . and death to many. Seeking to punish the human "gethes" who caused the near destruction of an ocean-dwelling race in the distant Cavanagh's Star system, the "Eqbas" have finally landed on Earth. But another, equally important obligation has drawn them across the galaxy: the salvation of this environmentally ravaged world, a mission that could entail the annihilation of billions of humans. Former police officer Shan Frankland has come as well--along with her two lifemates, one alien and one human--carrying in her blood the parasite that makes her virtually immortal. Though she once vowed never to let the powerful contagion reach the homeworld she left nearly a century ago, she feels compelled to play an active role in the unfolding drama--and to follow the catastrophic events that have devastated civilizations and defined her life to their shocking, inevitable end.Traviss, Karen is the author of 'Judge (Wess'Har Series #6)', published 2008 under ISBN 9780060882402 and ISBN 0060882409.
