Riveting science fiction adventure from Jean Kilczer, author of The Star Sojourner series.
Enter Jules Rammis: Exobiologist. Explorer. Reluctant Hero.
On planet Tartarus, Jules is searching for the missing link between the reptiles of the alien world and life on Earth. After archaeologist Christine Saynes disappears, Jules’s supervisors assign him to find the missing scientist.
But unknown to them, deep beneath the crust of the planet lie the Loranth. Intelligent and peaceful, they are content to let the Terrans be… except for the one in whose lair Jules unwittingly stumbles.
After he learns of the alien’s cruel plan, long-kept secrets awaken within Jules. He has a choice to make: either allow his guilt to swallow him whole, or step up and save all humankind.
