Diplomacy's Children

A Young Adult demi-novel. A new generation comes forth to take up the quest for interspecies harmony...

For young E'draMinr, starry-eyed 'Dark Grays' recruit, life isn't nearly as simple as it seemed as a hatchling. His worst nightmare —a self-centered, foul-tempered human youngling—is making his first training cruise miserable.
Thanks to her they're stranded on an alien world among primitive natives with who-knows-what ideas about these mysterious visitors.
Can they avoid killing each other or being eaten by the natives? Both are injured and they're running out of food. Also, the planet is about to be destroyed. It doesn't look good.
The fact that the Ic'nichi and humans are on the brink of interstellar war — well, there's no sense worrying over trivia at moments like this.
