"Welcome to Mersoon, where the food is free, the water pure, and the drugs are good. War is constant, and the inhabitants mix with the Descendants of Earth. Long ago, the Descendants of Earth traveled on generation ships to a dual sun solar system called Rodrigo's Suns. Now, they dominate the human-occupied planets within the System Alliance and live with alien and mixed races both friendly and hostile. Vintori Jymirr Erroc is a living legend, and the head of the Erroc and Jymirr Nations on the planet Mersoon. Throughout the System Alliance, this powerful and mysterious leader is considered to be a king of diamonds, but his dwindling Jymirr race teeters on the verge of extinction while another conflict begins with the Firfwaat Nation and it's ruthless leader, Lon. As war erupts on Mersoon following a series of cyber attacks, ground and aerial invasions, and bloody clashes, and election of the new System Alliance Overseer reveals an intricate and flawed political system brimming with extortion, deception, and rebellion. Against this backdrop of bloodshed and espionage, terror and the fight for survival, Vintori and the Jymirrs struggle with relationships and temptations that will test the bounds of love and shape the future of their race-if Lon does not wipe them out first." -- back cover.
