When David Hill, a retired CIA and DOD agent first discovers there are aliens operating in the area, he is faced with a dilema.  Does he do his duty as a former agent and report these beings, knowing that they will likely be attacked and given to scientists for study?  The Leinians seem peaceful and kind, with an altruistic motive for being there.  They are members of a group of space faring races that run the local part of the galaxy and have been sent to Earth to determine when Humans will gain space faring capabilities and how they can be brought into their midst peacefully.  If David reports on the Leinians, there could be disastrous consequences for the future of humanity.  He also has his own secrets and reasons for leaving the agencies.This book touched on issues such as morality, prejudice, and greed.  It also questioned how humans could possibly join other space faring races when we are so divided and our societies are often ruled by people motivated by greed and a lust for power among other vices.  This is not to say it didn't have its share of action and even romance.  It was a fun and enjoyable book that kept me turning pages wanting to know what would happen next.  It also made me think and look at aspects of our society in a new light without seeming overly preachy.  Give this book a try.
