Science Fiction
Hanna Bassiano, formerly known as Lady H’ana ril-Koroth of
D’neera, was, like all the people of the planet D’neera
a telepath. Mutated from true-human stock, the D’neerans
had claimed a world of their own to escape persecution, and
started a flourishing civilization there. Now, accepted by
true-humans, some like Hanna had ventured out into the wider
universe, using their talents to the benefit of all. Hanna
herself had become humanity’s expert in first contact with
other sentient races. And though her very first mission had
nearly ended in her death and could have resulted in a
devastating interstellar war, both Hanna and humanity had
survived. Several additional contacts had seen her firmly
established as the person to spearhead this new first-
contact mission. She and her handpicked team were now aboard
alien contact ship Endeavor Three, following a centuries’
cold trail to a distant world that had sent its own
expedition to the human colony world New Earth two hundred
years ago. Long before Endeavor reached the planet they came
to know as Battleground, Hanna began to explore the starways
with her mind, seeking contact with this legendary race. But
when at last she managed to touch the minds she sought,
Hanna could scarcely believe what she had found—a race
that seemed to exist only to fight, to breed, and to die.
How could they survive for all these years? How had they
come to be like this? And how would they respond to a
peaceful expedition of humans arriving on their world? This
brand-new science fiction novel follows The D'neeran
Factor, an omnibus of Sentience and The Master of Chaos, and
continues the adventures of Hanna Bassiano, human telepath
and first-contact specialist aboard the spaceship Endeavor.
