About this ebook
The third volume of the Chanur saga, set in the Alliance-Union universe, featuring the alien spaceship captain Pyanfar Chanur and her human crewmate Tully.

And what began as a simple rescue attempt soon blossomed into a dangerous game of interstellar politics, where today's ally could become tomorrow's executioner, and where methane breathers became volatile wild cards playing for stakes no oxy breather could even begin to understand....

Graded on a curve as I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. I could never get into the paperbacks, but the ebooks allow me to search earlier chapters for characters. As usual, I don't know what's going on half the time. Having said that, it's a compelling series and I plan on continuing to the next book.
