Two years after sheltering the human fugitive Tully and upending the uneasy peace of the interstellar Compact, hani merchant captain Pyanfar Chanur finds Tully back, this time with an entire human fleet trailing him toward known space. With rival kif factions maneuvering for dominance and her own government eyeing her with open suspicion, Pyanfar has to build alliances she would rather not need while keeping the crisis from reaching her homeworld. Second novel in C. J. Cherryh's Chanur series, continuing the story begun in The Pride of Chanur.
