Plot
At the end of The Eridani Convergence, Homeworld Security agent Jordan Burnside was about to investigate a Velkaryan operation on the planet Verdigris, in the Delta Pavonis system. Jackie Roberts and company were expecting to return there to pick him up, but were sidetracked by the events of The Centauri Surprise. This novel follows Burnside's adventures on Verdigris, and then the round about voyage of the Sophie to pick him up without tipping off the Velkaryans.
Carson stays behind on this one, to both his and Jackie's consternation, but Ducayne has another job for him. The folks at Grainger Station at Proxima-b have discovered what might be archeological ruins, extremely unlikely on a non-Terraformed red dwarf star planet, and Carson is to check them out.
Meanwhile, Roberts and the Homeworld Security agents with her aboard the Sophie make some interested red dwarf planet discoveries of their own, and the situation gets worse when the finally rendezvous with Burnside and find out what the Velkaryans have been up to.
Elevator Pitch
Jordan Burnside plays James Bond on planet Verdigris. There's everything from skydiving from orbit into the jungle, to exploding spaceships. Meanwhile, seeds planted in the earlier books are starting to sprout.
