Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

In the 23rd Century, the humans and the Sandjarrs are allowed to join an inter-galactic multi-racial organisation set up 8,000 years before. The humans are seen as a belligerent, underdeveloped race by the other members of the organisation and had been kept out of it until now. The Sandjarrs had stayed out of interplanetary politics until a war between themselves and the humans broke out. Now Caleb, a human, and Mezoke, a Sandjarr, are paired up and trained as special agents to keep the intergalactic peace. This is a controversial and historic alliance, and a lot of people are watching them. Their first mission is to keep war from breaking out between humans and Javlodes on the planet Senestam.

Library Journal Review

As a 23rd-century boy, Caleb barely escapes with his life when isolationists blow up a conference in support of humans joining the multispecies galactic confederation. But 20 years later, humankind is brought into the organization-with grudging accommodation all around-and now he's a rookie peacekeeping agent in the Interworld Diplomatic Office, partnered with a mysterious gender-indeterminate Sandjarr. With the recent human-Sandjarr conflict and galaxy-wide distrust of humans, the pair is under close scrutiny. Their first assignment: prevent a nasty squabble between the planet Upsall's Javlod folk and a human squatter colony on Upsall's moon. But unforeseen enemies lurk in high places, and the deadly stilvull vermin don't take orders from anybody on either side. Caleb and Mezoke do succeed in their mission, yet the point is not their heroics but the overwhelming difficulties associated with any intergroup diplomacy. VERDICT The art is excellent, and if you loved Star Wars, you'll love Orbital's creatures, here looking rather frayed around the edges in settings suggesting a blobbier Blade Runner. Good for sociopolitical class discussions, these two volumes finish the story, but the series is continuing. Recommended for teens and up.-M.C. (c) Copyright 2010.
