Navee, the lone human amongst the countless aliens of Wake, has been offered a new assignment. She is to investigate a civilization that has sprung up much too quickly on an alien world. There is also evidence of some form of massive underground installation that may hold the answers. The natives are the closest thing to human found so far.

Navee disguises herself as a local and quickly joins with a local revolutionary. The current government is seen as oppressive and overly-controlling. Now a revolution is just starting to enter into action.

Navee's involvement is full of action as the pair make their way through security checks and into the wilderness where the installation is hidden. Along the way Navee discovers many truths about the planet and her companion. There is even a human present at the installation.

Once again, the ending is surprising and well plotted. One can really feel Navee's predicaments among the aliens. Another fine read full of quality artwork.

This isn't the best book in the series, but it is an interesting story none the less. I enjoy the Wake saga and the heroine, Navee.
