Prime Contact

The second edition of Prime Contact is a revised edition.

It’s a rare Fohmatraan who leaves their homeworld — much to the Collective’s dismay, since Fohmatraans are the finest telepaths in the galaxy. So when Kazestrel ventures offworld, heading for the Central Worlds and a career with Collective’s First Contact team, he’s assured of an unconditionally wholehearted reception, a secure post, and a very comfortable life.

Unfortunately, in a galaxy as unpredictable and full of life as Haadri, things are not always that simple...

Prime Contact tells the first part of Kazestrel’s voyage of discovery — and self-discovery — across Haadri. Official meetings (and the occasional, inevitable amorous ones), with memorable and colourful characters, missions to exotic and often dangerous worlds, and inter-planetary intrigues are all part of a Mediator’s normal work — until Kaz arrives on Heart and becomes personally involved...

This fertile world of two moons hosts two big-brained, bipedal sentient species, one of them generally hard-working, daylight loving creatures, similar enough to humans that the average Terran wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

The other... the other is a species of night-hunters, allergic to sunlight, with a taste for blood — the vampiric vourdaki.
