A QUEEN MAKES HER MOVE The Pelann, the clever and ruthless leader of the alien race known as the Deneth Rian, unable to walk the corridors of power on Terra (literally unable, since the Deneth cannot tolerate gravity), has a plan that could win her the control and influence she so desperately seeks. Will the Pelann risk tens of thousands of Denethian, Tarine (their sister race) and Human lives to level the playing field in one violent gamble? Will she pull off an all-or-nothing play that changes the fate of the Rian and of the Union itself? Soon Jane Pace, the powerful Telekinetic known to the universe as the Red Angel, and her friends learn of their enemy's opening move: Massive Trithicate, the oldest Deneth Space Station, has disappeared into hyperspace, destination unknown. Danger to the Union looms over all, but the Pelann is aware that Jane and company will use everything they have to protect it- -or die trying.
