Savages of the Bulk

When the mysterious Saar Commonwealth summons Earth on a diplomatic mission to a hostile alien world, the goal is simple: keep the peace. Yet the envoys gathered are anything but. A young attaché must navigate a black ops agent on the run, a statesman with unclear loyalties, and a rookie pilot flying a state-of-the-art warship. If their mission fails, then drone commander Jake Dawes must fight. A cybernetically enhanced soldier, LT Dawes is haunted by visions buried in his code. Are they glitches? A bad link with his snippy AI? Or is there something far greater, something capable of shattering two hundred years of Commonwealth rule once and for all?
