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.

The Sarran Senator

“We’re so happy that you accepted us.” Sam leaned over and gave her a hug. “We let you sleep as long as we could, but now we have to hurry to get to council on time.”


Meg sat quietly in the front seats between Sam and Tarin. TeBron called the meeting to order.


“What happened last moontine was unforgivable. How is it that after we caught Stoker, yet we missed Hilnut? Thank the Goddess we didn’t discuss Sky Shield at home. The Zyptz meant to destroy us last rising by killing our fems and rendering us helpless. I personally, wouldn’t have survived the loss.”


“It was the quick thinking and leadership of Meg O’Neil that prevented total disaster for the galaxy. We wouldn’t have been able to recover from another loss like that,” TeWell added. “TeAllen and I just bonded. Without the leadership of TeBron and TeZaron we would have lost the fight. I was never so frightened as when we received the report from the surface.”
