t's not easy being Casimir Daxxel, young consul of the Galactic Act to the rim-world of Eobal: Everyone hates him and his job is tedious. His problems grow considerably upon discovering the dead body of his only friend in the foyer of his consulate one morning, the Turulian ambassador Dhloma. Now he is facing issues he never had to deal with before: Galacto-political tensions, lovely lizard women, corrupt police chiefs, highly dangerous drug shops and several attempts to kill him. His only ally? Sergeant Josefine Zant of the Consulate Security, a woman with many hidden talents. Add to that an unhealthy helping of mercenaries, a battle cruiser and very strange kinship relations, and the young diplomat becomes slightly overwhelmed with the situation.
