Carpe Diem

Bloodthirsty alien pirates were the least of Val Con and Miri's troubles. The besieged couple topped the unofficial wanted list of a ruthless interstellar crime cartel, and they didn't dare show their faces in known space. So they went to ground on a backwater planet where a quiet farm life should have been the perfect cover. But the mob assassins were not the only ones hunting the fugitives. Val Con's worried family wanted to restore him to his rightful place as Clan head, so Shan and Priscilla combined their unique mental talents to seek their missing brother. And Val Con's superiors, determined to debrief their rogue agent - dead or alive - had set their most deadly operative on the case. (adapted from the back cover of the first edition)
