" The galaxy teeters on the brink of catastrophe as the two worlds prepare to do war. In a desperate bid for peace, the worlds agree to hold talks--but a key ambassador, a telepath known as Phaedra, has been kidnapped by forces wanting to sabotage the peace process. To avert Armageddon, the galactic federation known as Sirius Swarm sends a team of crack troubleshooters to rescue her. But what begins as a straightforward mission quickly turns ugly as a strange collection of foes tries to stop the six from rescuing Phaedra." --AtomicAvenue.com
