With Saidhe and Loap kidnapped by Sianar special forces their crewmates pull out all the stops to save them. Not only are they in danger, but so is galactic peace. As Kre and Biann handle the Sianar disruption, the Judge, the Captain and the Enforcer try to calm the Roq storm. But the past is never far behind anyone, and old faces return to make life... complicated all over again. The two authors prepare to meet up for the first time, not sure if their long-distance romance will translate well to the 'real world'. The first 'Mission' convention panel looms. Will everything go smoothly? Will anyone's character be killed off? Who is going to wear what? What weird pasta dishes will they serve? (And what IS in those boxes?)
