Symbol of Hope In Playing the Hero, Vathion was ripped from his normal life and forced into a role of great responsibility. Now, he is finally learning how to handle being a major player in the Gilonnian Civil War. Continuing his investigations into the mystery that Ha’Natan died for, Vathion uncovers a major Rebel plot and destroys their advantage. An abrupt turn of events leaves the Empire in a state of near collapse, unless steps are taken quickly to prevent Ha’Likka from winning by default. Vathion must put aside simply playing the Hero and pull out all the stops in order to capture or kill Ha’Likka and end the war for good. Unfortunately, the price of peace will be nothing less than his sanity.  Faith on Silver Wings Kedetireen Marethsharanto, Captain of the Perro’s guard for seven years, and only a step away from being the most powerful male on the warship Kurrainad was as strange as a Varas could be. With a taste for terrible music and dancing, he chose to survive by being at the top and not letting anyone close enough to see beneath his façade.
Enkiria Jruasammi, unable to reconcile the revulsion she felt for her own species chose the difficult road of standing by her principles without revealing her disgust, for to do so would mean certain death. Determined to find a kindred spirit within her people, she set out to create her own little Heaven amidst the maelstrom of Varas life.
Fiona Ragsdale, an untrained Psion heading for college on Terra, captured and enslaved by the Varas, chose to do what she had to in order to survive. If that meant breaking an oath she had yet to take, she was ready and willing.
Their actions will guide the fate of the entire Varas race. Frontier Station Raymond Perry came from a family of naval officers; his mother was a ship captain, his father was an admiral – all had high hopes for him. Faulty genetics nearly destroyed Raymond’s hopes, but swift intervention by his father saved Raymond’s career. But, there is always a price to be paid for such blatant nepotism. Now, Raymond has been assigned to a strange, alien-built and deserted station on the very edge of Human Federation Space, and given that Terra is six months distant, asking for permission for anything out of the ordinary is out of the question. Unfortunately, that also means that if the wrong people find out about his secret, he has little hope of maintaining control until help arrives. Victory Station With Gilonnia’s Civil War successfully ended, the Natan Fleet has nothing better to do but return home, to Victory Station. Surprisingly enough, a station the Gannatet family left mothballed as been reactivated and is populated by a species the Gilon have never met! Thankfully the current Stationmaster is an open minded man. Unfortunately the Human Federation Government isn’t. Peace talks are accelerated when the problem of the Varas come to light. Given that the Natan Fleet is quite bored by now, they take on the problem with great glee, forcing the entire alliance of aliens, humans, and human variants to agree on the proper handling of the Varas Dilemma.
