[edit] Publisher's Summary

Shan Frankland forever abandoned the world she knew to come to the rescue of a lost colony on a distant and dangerous planet — a hostile world coveted by two alien races and fiercely protected by a third. But in the course of her mission, she overstepped a boundary and stumbled into forbidden lands. And she can never go back —- to being neutral, to being safe. To being human.

War is coming again to Cavanagh's Star—and this time, the instigators will be the troublesome gethes from the faraway planet Earth. Former Environmental Enforcement Officer Shan Frankland has already crossed a line, and now she is a prize to be captured . . . or a threat to be eliminated. But saving a coveted world and its fragile native population may require of her one unthinkable sacrifice: the destruction of her own ruthless, invading species.
