Pertak is a world with three suns and four species of beings living and working together in apparent harmony, a world where Todd Sevick and his team of enforcement officers are doing their best to keep their world in balance, and a world where, inexplicably, Liz Paiste—a mere secretary second class—is injured and abducted. Why would anyone kidnap Liz? Why does her computer have such high levels of security that the enforcement department’s best experts are unable to bypass them?
As Todd and his team seek to answer these questions, each answer leads to another mystery or another danger. Soon one of Todd’s officers is fighting for his life, and the team members are facing cutting-edge technology that blocks their efforts to investigate a growing list of crimes.
Will they ever find Liz? Will she be alive? Will they discover who is masterminding and funding the shadowy organization that opposes them? Can they trust the governor? Can they trust each other?
