Shen

There is a spaceship that appears to be abducting itself a crew from different planets. Some will fear it, some try to explain it. David Travis tries to escape, and gets free more than once. Yet each time, life on Earth gets trickier (and shorter).

Eventually it's clear this job offer can't be refused. The new commander of a motley collections of aliens, David has to manage their hang ups while trying to figure out why they are together in the first place.
