Tolar is the fourth planet of the star Beta Hydri, in the middle of a dangerous expanse of K-space called the Drift. The other races of the interstellar Trade Alliance warned Earth’s Central Command to leave the Tolari strictly alone. And when a young woman from Iowa is sent to Tolar to teach seven human languages to the daughter of a Tolari noble, the consequences will reach farther than anyone could have imagined.
