FBI Special Agent Christina Rossi had it all - for a while: a loving family, a career on an upward track, the works. Then a takedown of some eco-terrorists turns unexpectedly bloody, questions are being asked, and the fast track is nothing but a memory as she doggedly pursues a slave labor case that might involve a Chinese mob (and might be a complete bust). The family went away during an ugly divorce and her ex-husband’s high-end life with a beautiful, upscale new wife has lured her daughter into a risky social circle - and turned her against her mother.

In a far-distant future, the Uman Empire has conquered and colonized worlds. Once thought invincible, its reign is now fragile as alien subjects and enemies conspire against it. On holiday in the capital city, cop Jack Cato gets a glimpse of the Emperor-and realizes what he's looking at is a supposedly dead shape- shifter. His mortal enemy is still alive and once again on the run. And the fate of the Empire - and Cato's own honor - are at stake....

The insectoid Prax landed on Earth approximately 12,000 years ago and immediately went into hiding.

And, as book two begins, the situation is dire.

When CIA Special Operations officer Major Jim Carter is sent to the town of Serene, Texas, he's still grieving for Agent Cathy Abbey, who was not only a fellow agent—but the woman he loved.

When Carter arrives in Serene, it's to discover that all one hundred and twenty-one citizens of the town have been murdered by insectoid creatures assumed to be extraterrestrials. None of the authorities know how the aliens arrived on Earth or what their intentions are.
