Rescue mission to hostile planet of scaly aliens This science fiction story occurs on the two remote planets of Eden and Vkani. Peaceful Eden has an independent colony of humans from Terra and a small population of alien Atrapako with their spiky crest and scales colored by their class. When the Blue, Sa Kamizan Veedak, and Dr. Lucy Stannis receive a distress message from his sister, Veela, they must undertake the dangerous mission to rescue her from the war-torn planet of Vkani. As an exile, Sa Kamizan risks death if he is recognized, while the humans will face slavery or worse. The motley crew of Atrapako and human scientists will need all their skills to combat treachery by brutal warlords and survive the hostile environment. If you enjoy adventures with battles, betrayals, and scientific explorations, read Book 2 in the series, Atrapako on Eden. The meeting and earlier adventures of Sa Kamizan and Lucy are described in Book 1, The Lady is Blue.
