When the Kiri, a pacifist alien race, sends a diplomatic mission to negotiate with the war‑loving Rillians, the Rillians annihilate the crew. Their triumph is short‑lived as one Kiri survivor reaches the Moon, where the Rillians subsequently dispatch a heavily armed soldier capable of destroying the entire moon. Tension escalates as humanity must confront an existential threat from an alien conflict that spirals into intensive, factual action.

"The police arrived too late--coffee shop owner Sailor Conyers's business partner has been murdered. What's worse, the bullet may have been meant for her. Her only protection is self-appointed bodyguard Office Gabe Sloan. He'd be perfect defender material--if he weren't her ex-boyfriend. Dealing with flying bullets tests Sailor's faith, but her dependence on Gabe tests her resolve. She'd turned away from him before out of fear. Now, desperation is drawing them together. Can she let go of the painful past and accept Gabe's love and protection? Or will the killer's aim shatter their chance at a future together?"--p. [4] of cover.
