Description: Archaeology for Lauren Hopkins is challenging accepted dogma. Digging at Mexico, she discovers an extraterrestrial ship, which immediately throws Earth into social and political confusion. The country that controls this alien technology will control the world. The Serrll Combine is aware of the social dislocation the craft represents and orders Second Scout Terrllss-rr to destroy it before Earth descends into open conflict. As a new Diplomatic Branch agent, Terr goes to Earth to survey the archaeological site and the naval ships clustered off Mexico. The mission to remove the craft is compromised when his scoutcraft is destroyed and Terr and Lauren are shot. On the Moon, Terr faces more than intrigue and sabotage of his mission.
