Number four in the Saga of the Skolian Empire. This is a long complex saga. The Skolians are ruled by benelovent telepaths. Their enemies are the Hightons who are psycopaths able to feed off telepaths. The Allied Worlds based on Earth are off on the sidelines.

A space opera with a curious mix of hard SF and dare one say chick-lit (several of her books, including this one, have won the Romantic Times Critics Award). Too slow at the start but picks uphalf way through the book. A pot-boiler but a well done one.
