Now she and her genius android 'brother' must find the malevolent cause of the deadly disease before those behind it cripple the star system.

“Khorii is definitely a chip off the old horn.Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough are experts at being able to draw their readers into quite a complex and already well-established world, without making too many narrative demands with regard to the previous books. Their style is, as always, eminently readable”
