Lost Alien Cultures, Powerful Telepaths and Genetic Engineering Galactic Intelligence Agents Hunter and Trash were sure they'd seen just about every odd thing the galaxy could throw at them until they ran into a woman who was definitely not one of the known species. She's innocent and powerful and confuses the hell out of them...until she shocks Hunter's family and turns the staid old enclave on its head. Hunter, an experimental Human, was raised by the mysterious Alleviators in their isolated fortress at Clouded Vale. Coming back to his childhood home as an experienced agent for Galactic Intelligence has him seeing things things in a decidedly different light. Trash, his long-eared, horned partner, is more than a co-worker. He's an alien-brother who is protective and suspicious. He knows there's more to this than the discovery of new species. Where there's one, there has to be a whole lot more. And they might not be as benevolent as they claim to be.
