The adventure continues in this action-packed follow up to The Degan Incident and The Cassini Mission!
Peri McSmith is aboard the U.S.C. Cassini, en route to the Degan Homeworld. A routine medical examination reveals a startling yet impossible link between Peri and the Cassini s last mission.
Beshel Drago, Chief Investigator for the Degan Federation, searches for leads on the rogue scientists conducting illegal genetic experiments using Degan citizens. He hits yet another a dead end until the rescued embryo s human parent is identified.
When the Degan Science Institute is attacked, and the embryo stolen, it s up to Beshel and Peri to not only recover the child, but to prevent all out war between the Degans and the Galactic Planetary Union.
