Book 1 of "First of Many".Humanity in 2635 finds itself only one of hundreds of races that make up galactic civilisation. The Human Confederacy spans almost eight hundred worlds, but is numerically a minor player in inter-species politics. However, since all other races are highly specialised, humanity's position as a multi-purpose race ensures they maintain political power despite their recent arrival on the scene. A vast faster-than-light communications network ties most business to human space, along with a human-instigated universal language.But behind the scenes, it seems dark forces are at play. Shadowy organisations pull strings, while individuals manipulate entire races to further their own goals. In addition, a secret great enough to shatter galactic civilisation threatens to rear its head, possibly spelling disaster for life as we know it.This book is 111,660 words long (approx. 370 pages of a standard-sized paperback).
