Lani Perry has been preparing her entire life for one thing: to become an explorer for the Ministry of Interstellar Knowledge. Her dream is to travel to worlds unknown, and to discover new resources that will help to better the lives of those under the Tri-planetary Alliance. She refuses to let prejudice against the fact she's a hybrid of two races hinder her goals.

However, when she finds out the supposedly barren planet they plan to strip mine isn't so lifeless, she has a decision to make: keep quiet and finish her mission, knowing a species will be wiped out of existence, or speak up and face the consequences of insubordination. And possibly even start an interstellar war.
