Two races. One war. Perpetual hatred. And the Magistrate crash lands right in the middle of it. Rivka and her crew take a much-deserved vacation, but find themselves on a jungle planet, cut off from the rest of the galaxy. Part by design, but mostly not. Isn't that what a good vacation is supposed to be, disconnected from the rigors of everyday life? Until no one can hear your calls for help. The team has to resolve Yindle and Yangor's dispute before they can find a way home. A vacation turned into a case morphed into a fight for survival. The crew meets new challenges head on because they have no choice. Rivka's time off isn't what anyone expected, not even the Magistrate. In Red's immortal words, "Your vacations suck." Magistrate Rivka Anoa is the legal eagle you want on your side. No better friend. No worse enemy.
