An alien leader must either save or kill his brother. The indecision that threatens his rule is his hardest battle.
This is a journey of fixation, fear, reckoning and regret that follows Oronis' quest to find his missing brother, Ergaleio. By his own law, Oronis must sentence him to death as soon as he is found, but there may be leeway: Ergaleio left for Earth with dangerously valuable software that could prove his innocence.
Can Oronis reach him in time? An earthling female tells him his brother is in danger, held captive in a research facility. Upon further scanning, he finds a core signature matching his brother's DNA...Inside her. What have these creatures done to his brother?
As for her: one of his team wants to destroy her, one wants to experiment as was done to Ergaleio...
He's not sure what he wants from her...
