The Friendly Ambassador: A Gathering of Angels

by David George Richards

Summary

As the Keruh fight a bloody rearguard action in an attempt to delay the advancing Androktones, Didi, Gusta, Kiki and the other Edenite survivors in Jutlam City at last come under the protection of the Ambassador. But the Ambassador's representative is large, silver, with a mouth-full of teeth. The drone, El-Quan, is as confused by her charges as they are scared of her, but there are worse dangers ahead, and they aren't all Keruh. Yan-Jai is the largest drone on Eden and she no longer cares who she kills, friend or foe. The battle in space has also reached another phase as Aeolus tries to control the Klysanthian captains now in his 'flock.' And the most stubborn of these is Pantariste, Captain of the Queen of Angels, who doesn't help matters by baiting him at every opportunity. When Lysippe is sent aboard the Prometheus as liaison, Peleus is soon drawn to her, and she in her grief is drawn to him. It is a love that soon burns brightly, but must be short-lived. The Friendly Ambassador is an epic story that mixes science fiction with the legend of Atlantis. Read the first part of the "The Friendly The Beginning of the End."

In the second book, "The Friendly A Gathering of Angels," Peleus forms a powerful relationship with Lysippe, while two other Klysanthians, Scyleia and Heli begin the steps that will form full and loving relationships with the Androktones Tai-Gil and Ann-Ra. Both want to save the unsaveable. The Androktone characters have great appeal in this respect. They are strong, fearless and viciously brutal. But they are not evil, they do what they do because they have they have no choice. And underneath they are as vulnerable as children. The Klysanthians have a similar appeal. They may not be as strong as the Androktones, but they are equally fearless and equally at risk, and they are also genuine and kind.
