An intriguing collection of short stories, from Space Opera to harder sf.

Friendly aliens come in all shapes, as do the ones you don’t want in your mind.

You will find some futuristic social science and a speculative one thrown in for good measure. The characters are younger and some are older, some are strange and some perhaps, are more familiar. This collection of short stories reveals capable humans, intriguing aliens, and new areas of trade.

Summary: After surviving the brutal war against the Proximians, survivors of the Save The Species mission are faced with a terrible new threat. The Othauls are a ruthless alien species determined to terrorize every intelligent race of beings until they are given what they want. Led by the vicious Chalnaii, the Othauls will stop at nothing to bring humanity into their Dynasty. Liam Donovan, along with Ann Caldwell and the rest of the survivors, must escape the Othauls' grip while also embarking on a perilous task to find other alien races to form an alliance which could be their only hope against the malevolent Othauls. Meanwhile, back on Earth, mysteries must be revealed, and uncomfortable truths come to light if humanity can ever hope to be able to defend itself from the Othauls' invading force.
