Librarian's Note: this is an alternate cover edition for ASIN B0131B17LU.
It has been six months since the Epsilon crashed on Earth, and while tensions between the Humans and off-worlders appear to be going smoothly, new threats are developing from several avenues, some on Earth, and others from beyond the stars. When a large corporation is given access to the Epsilon, humanity once again finds itself on the verge of sparking an incident with the aliens that could reverberate throughout galaxy, coupled with the knowledge that an unsecured distress signal was sent into space, there is the risk that Earth will be dragged into the civil war that has wrecked havoc on the galaxy for seventy years.
The second book of this story and although I didn't feel it was as good as the first, it was still a good read. I enjoyed the storyline and getting to know the characters further. The relationship between the humans and the aliens begins to build and although I thought there could be more, it was left with no doubt that the next chapter should be one not to be missed.
