Plot
The novel picks up where The Reticuli Deception leaves off, with the Velkaryan ship Carcharodon finding itself in deep space, headed toward Sol. They divert toward 82 Eridani, a star with a settled planet, Tanith, not far off their course.
Star pilot Jaqueline "Jackie" Roberts, is returning Marten, a timoan archeologist colleague of Carson's, to his home world of Taprobane, with plans to head toward Skead, orbiting Tau Ceti, after that. While there, she gets a message from Ducayne requesting her to continue on to 82 Eridani to meet an agent of his and pick something up.
Archeologist Hannibal Carson is helping Quentin Ducayne's people review old UFO files taken from the Blue Book archives in Reticuli when word comes of the Belize find, mentioned at the end of Reticuli. A while later, Ducayne has a mission for Carson -- go to 82 Eridani to examine the object Roberts is retrieving, and help her out if needed.
When Roberts and later Carson arrive, they realize that the Velkaryans have been there for a while, and something is up.
Roberts's contact has a contact of his own, and the artifact they're retrieving wasn't found on Tanith. Meanwhile, the Velkaryans take violent action, and the political balance in T-Space shows signs of shifting.
Elevator Pitch
The original "elevator pitch" for the book was "For different reasons, Carson, Roberts, Velkaryans, and assorted others converge on 82 Eridani. Bad things happen."
