“This isn't an invasion, Chancellor. It's a repossession.” When the arrogant Chancellor Veyr Tal of the Soryn Combine traps humanity in a deceitful and crippling trade contract for vital helion crystals, he thinks he has pulled off the perfect scam. He believes Earth's representatives are desperate, naive newcomers who will blindly keep paying for shipments that will never arrive. But he makes one fatal mistake: he underestimates the terrifying power of human lawyers. Instead of declaring a bloody interstellar war, Ambassador Daniel Mercer and his team dig into the fine print. Discovering a fragile web of ancient sovereign debt, humanity quietly turns the aliens' own legal system against them. As Veyr Tal prepares to spring his final trap, he is about to learn a devastating lesson about what happens when you try to con the species that invented tax season.
