Here we get a closer look at Lynda Stokes as she reveals some of her concerns and her feelings about her missing brother, who was featured in the two-part prequel Starship Himilco. Lynda is young, but already committing her life to a rebellion, and is responsible for choosing a crew who will go along with the conspirator's plans. A wrong choice could leave them with a crew which might turn against them when they learn the truth. |

This episode is actually three very short chapters. The first follows Captain Paul Poluka as he takes Lynda Stokes to dinner in an attempt to change her mind about allowing Commander Aguire to serve aboard the Starship Hanno. Part of the problem is that their secret conspiracy depends on getting only people whom the evil government has blacklisted, but Lynda doesn't know who's on the blacklist. The next chapter drops in on Admiral Higgs, who is finding unexpected troubles both with his protoge, Admiral Fisher, who has just murdered Julie, and with the vice president, who has just murdered thousands. Finally, we get our first glimpse of the alien queen in the shortest chapter of the novel. |
