Can fortune-telling prevent a war?
Nexus and friends expect to enjoy their studies in sumptuous luxury on planet Sihnon, with leisure and elbow room. A few domestic misadventures in housing, medicine, and chopsticks, and they’re ready for deluxe virtual reality learning.
First project, reassemble Space Academy from storage. Because with lifespans stretching centuries, the Colony Corps simply hires experienced crew.
Next, a juicy mystery to unravel. Humans first learned of advanced aliens while investigating what killed a colony world. Too late, they found a hazard buoy left to warn off others, housed in a history museum to introduce the guilty – the violent crocs.
At the time, they buried the news. Humanity was too fragile to confront an advanced race.
But now alien croc and testudo demand to join Nexus at the Academy. What better team to study the ancient facility?
They uncover a devastating secret, one that could unleash war between croc and testudo, with humans in the crossfire. Can Nexus master the Oracle in time to avert three-species war?
