Sofi has been captured by agents of Interstellar Transport and delivered to SenExecA Tremendous VI (de facto Emperor of the Galaxy) on ITTC New Homeworld. He can't break Sofi's imprint-bond with his wayward cargo-asset (Sagan, who's waiting safely nearby in space). So he must convince her to join the IT Armada Corps voluntarily. Tremendous believes the DragonStars are critical to the survival of galactic civilization and Sofi - alone, vulnerable, and several trillion miles from home - is almost convinced by his passionate dedication to the "destiny intelligence."
But there are secrets in the DragonStar "domestication" procedures that threaten to derail the negotiations and Tremendous, a man capable of planetary violence, MUST secure the return of the DragonStar that was stolen from him...
