Passengers: Revelations

Third in Peter Salisbury's Passenger series of SF novels.

With the news media in a frenzy imagining man-eating aliens, Ben and Lori need all the help they can get in breaking the news that an alien race had been found. Meanwhile, doing penance for their previous misdeeds, Symch and Goster have a shock in store for their jailers.

Spider technology is licensed for industrial use but at a price, and old foes reappear to do no-one any good but themselves.

Raife and Nancy find their semi-tropical city to be more of a handful than they anticipated with dangers of its own, and their science teams struggle to make progress with the crashed ship left behind by the long-vanished Zetans.
