One Shot at the Sphinx

The enemy of her enemy might be just the tool Anastassia Kazan needs to remove the Jalvian invaders from the Verian space station she calls home.

Working out a treaty between the Jalvians and the Verian people was the highlight of Anastassia Kazan's military career. Just when station life seems to be settling into a tolerable accord, a spy from the Jalvian's enemy shows up to take advantage of her hard work and threatens the precarious peace with his very presence. It's only fair, as a spy for the Verian army, that she uses him in return.

Chesser Ta'set's mission to intercept the Jalvian's next moves is imperative. Without them his people will soon lose the war with Jal and his entire star system will be in chaos. Meeting a human spy with the telepathic skill necessary to slip into his target's thoughts presents an avenue that will greatly multiply the odds of his success.

All he needs to do is convince Anastassia to blow her cover and risk her life for a stranger from a world she doesn't know.
