The Sarrans return home from Earth in triumph, having gained many new Earthen fems, coffee, chocolate, and cats. Senator Samuel Johnson joins his grandson Michael, his daughter Sara, and her WarriorPair on Sarran. To his delighted surprise, he bonds irrevocably with Tarin, one of Sarran's top engineers. Tarin had been bonded before and thought he would never experience a bond again, yet Sam's love gives him a new lease on life. Now they only hope the Goddess has a fem for them. Then the Sarran Elders host a mixer for Sarran warriors to meet the Earthen fems. Margaret Mary O'Neil, Meg to her friends, is a talented woman who fled to Sarran like so many Earth women looking for a new life. When she meets Sam and Tarin, her life changes forever. But while things are looking up for the Sarrans, with new babies being born and WarriorPairs settling down, their enemy the Zyptz are relentless in their efforts to wipe them out. When the Zyptz attack both Sarran and Earth, the mutual dependence between the two becomes ever more evident.

Meg looked around. ::You!:: She pointed to an older fem who was walking around in a daze. ::Go to the fabricator and make sheets, towels, and cots. Get someone else to help you carry them::The fem scurried to obey.
