Diplomacy is not always, or perhaps never, easy.  This book in, "The Empires Corps," series, starts out with a diplomatic effort, not expected to be easy, to contact one of the splinter groups which seemingly has formed since the Empire's demise.  The mutually chosen 'neutral territory' for the first meeting is -- unfortunate.The two parties to the diplomatic effort must make common cause just to survive.Some loose ends from the previous books are tied off, a favorite series character is permanently, 'tied off,' and dire portents are laid.I continue to enjoy this series immensely and look forward to future volumes.
