Transported by missionaries into a world far removed from the home he left behind the Professor is charged with being sure this world does not attack. But what is the message the professor is bringing? Is it one of peace or is it a threat? Will he succeed in protecting his home planet or will he find himself caught in the middle of a political crisis which may no longer exist? Is he prepared for the consequences of visiting a planet which has been cut off from contact with his home world for hundreds of years.The missionaries have been given a directive; get the Professor to the planet by any means necessary and at any cost. All, except one, veterans of combat, now free-lanced to the highest bidder, they are prepared to risk their lives to protect their cargo. But how much do they really know about his mission? What if it isn't what they thought it was? Will they still go into battle to save him?An action-packed space thrill ride which combines a up to date story with politics, romance and royalty, The Mission grips you from the very beginning. I found myself caught up in the story and the mystery that is The Mission from the first page and read straight through until the end. For anyone who likes fantasy, mystery and action with a little soft g-rated romance thrown in this is a great read.Karen Bryant Doering
