To protect themselves, the Primes have made secret alliances with other races while concealing their own true identities and the location of their home world. Now, after an ill-advised, accidental kidnapping of the vessel carrying Kusac, Carrie, and Kaid, the Primes have been forced to reveal themselves to the members of the Sholan Alliance. But in the midst of delicate diplomatic negotiations to create a new pact between the Sholan Alliance and the Primes, power struggles on both Shola and the Prime world threaten to jeopardize the treaty. Still recovering from being tortured by a rogue Prime group, Kusac is about to set out on a secret mission of his own, a mission which could see him branded as a traitor to his own kind. And what he discovers could well lead to the overthrow of the Prime leadership and to the destruction of the delicate balance that is the only thing staving off interstellar war....Product IdentifiersPublisherDAWISBN-100886778980ISBN-139780886778989eBay Product ID (ePID)1636876Product Key FeaturesLanguageEnglishPublication Year2000Number of Pages736 PagesDimensionsItem Length6.7in.Item Height1.6in.Item Width4.1in.Item Weight13.9 OzAdditional Product FeaturesAge Range18-UpSeries Volume Number6Grade fromTwelfth GradeGrade toUpReviewsPraise for the Sholan Alliance series: "Series fans will have a field day (or two) reading this delightful, but complex tale with multiple subplots." -- Midwest Book Review " Dark Nadir is full of fast-paced adventure and has more alien species that the Star Wars cantina!
