Gabe Fuentes teams up with his fellow space-diplomats to save the planet, the galaxy, and his family in this border-crossing conclusion to the Ambassador duology.

“The writing is wonderful, the aliens more alien than anything I have read in years… Loved this start to finish.”

–Jane Yolen, Aesop of our era

“The superb conclusion to this two-part tale of space diplomacy restarts Gabriel’s tale at the very moment Ambassador concluded… Alexander is clearly passionate about science, space exploration, and social justice, but he never allows that passion to shortchange the crackerjack adventure.“

– Kirkus, starred review

“Filled with a Heinleinesque sense of wonder, National Book Award–winner Alexander’s depictions of life in space pave the way for unlimited possibilities in this sequel to Ambassador.”
