Weems

The Gathering has a crisis. A plague is killing millions. If there'd been a Weem on the planet, it never would have gotten out of hand. But all the Weems live on Trope along with a race of brutal warriors the Gathering has used to subject many planets. Unfortunately, these Tropan brutes see Weems as their personal medical corps and won't let any leave the planet. Now it's up to Elan, a Xin fighter pilot and her flight group to get a Weem off Trope.
If only the humans didn't keep getting in the way.
