InterGal
Corporation has long desired to exploit the resource-rich Petaybee. But
the planet and its guardians, led by Yana Maddock and Sean Shongili,
along with their twin children, Ronan and Murel, have successfully
thwarted every attempt by the Corporation to impose its iron-fisted
dominion.
Until now.
In a bold two-pronged assault, the predacious Corporation has arrested Petaybee's leading off-world champion, Marmion de Revers Algemeine, on trumped-up charges, while InterGal's military arm has dispatched an invading force to subdue the planet once and for all. Marmion has allies within the Corporation who can halt the invasion. but if they cannot be found quickly, it will be too late for Marmion... and Petaybee.
While their parents work to foil the invasion of their world, Ronan and Murel are captured and sent to a desolate prison world where an old enemy, Dr. Mabo, waits to continue her cruel experiments on the shape-changing siblings. The twins' only hope of escape lies in the uncharted seas of the prison planet. But in the murky depths, something else is waiting...
