Kitty has not settled into diplomacy well, especially when politicians keep coming around to sound her out. Now, she has a senator she distrusts showing her pictures of herself and her best friend getting very friendly.

Luckily, Jeff has gotten over the worst of his jealousy. He knows that Kitty and Charles have not been doing whatever the pictures imply. For one thing, Kitty has taken their daughter, Jamie, down to Florida since her teething has been very hard on Jeff.

As Kitty and some of the other members of their embassy prepare to take the High Security Administrative Clearance exam, more trouble develops. When one of the agents administering the exam tries to kill her and blame it on Charles, life gets really interesting.

Kitty, Jeff, Charles, Christopher and the rest of their crew set out to find out who is behind the scurrilous rumors and attempts at assassination.

Gini Koch is an impressive writer. Her books are action- packed, tightly written, humorous thrillers. I love this series and I'm not sure how she manages to keep the pace. Each book just seems to get better. If you like sci-fi romance with a strong dose of humor, you won't be disappointed in ALIEN VS. ALIEN
