Angelus has remained hidden from humanity for half a century. Now Captain Ciarán Rhys and telepath Triya Noeh are heading there-and carrying something that could destroy it.
Ciarán and Triya have followed dreams, visions, and an impossible shared calling across the galaxy. Now a lucrative contract offers the Northern Star a reason to travel five thousand lightyears beyond familiar human space-to Angelus, an Eden-like planet whose existence has been guarded for decades.
Angelus is unlike any world humanity has encountered. Two intelligent nonhuman species share the planet. One is openly telepathic. The other, the mysterious Àdain, possesses abilities that blur the line between advanced science and the impossible. And hidden in Angelus biology is something powerful enough to tempt every human world: a way to greatly extend life.
Ciarán and Triya believe Angelus may be the destination that has haunted them both. They do not know that the cargo and technology they bring could place the planet in mortal danger-or that human greed is only one of the forces moving against them.
As theft, coercion, political pressure, and an approaching planetary threat close in, the two must confront questions more dangerous than any enemy: what do they owe each other, what are they willing to surrender, and what if the truth about their own identities is stranger than the world they came to find?
Alien Quest: Throne concludes the Alien Quest duology with first contact, alien civilizations, scientific mystery, romance, and a struggle over whether humanity can share an extraordinary world without exploiting its inhabitants or destroying its fragile ecology.
