About this book

Frank Compton used to be an agent for the security forces of Earth but that was a piece of cake compared to what hes had to deal with working for the aliens who run the Quadrail an interstellar transportation system connecting a dozen civilizations across the galaxy. Hes been trying to end the domination of an alien lifeform called the Modhri. This enormously powerful creature wants to rule the galaxy by controlling the thoughts of all its citizens. It does so by having parts of itself infect others on contact and act as agents for it without them being aware theyre being manipulated. When Frank and his assistant Bayta journey to investigate a connection between the Modhri and the Filiaelians they come up against a conspiracy on the Quadrail. Passengers are being murderedbut something besides murder haunts the Quadrail. A plot is brewing that even the Modhri fears. And once again Frank and Bayta may be the only ones who can stop it.
