But there are those among the Six Races who seem to have secret agendas of their own. And when a ground vehicle turns up at the research settlement with no one aboard except a long-dead Habra frozen in a block of ice, humans Hugh and Janice Cedar and their allies among the Six Races are determined to get to the root of this mystery. Has someone sent them a fully preserved fossil, a long-buried ancestor of the present-day Habras? Or is this an elaborate hoax being staged to put an end to their study before they can unearth the truth about the planet and its people? less

When a meeting of the Galactic Writers' Society is threatened by a series of embarrassing, potentially deadly incidents, it is up to Arda, an android undercover agent, to solve the mystery and find the culprits before the crimes undermine interstellar relations. Original.
