Bira Banks

A destroyed world. A fallen sister. A warship carrying the ultimate secret.In the chilled silence of interstellar space, danger stirs. First contact is never a greeting, it's a test. A lone figure sits in a mirrored interrogation room on Earth, claiming to be born inside a battle destroyer called 'The Resper' while delivering it to the Saller Empire's Armory. He calls himself Bira Banks, a renowned alien diplomat from the Nubella Constellation, after an emergency landing in China.Translating to his true intentions, Xandi, the granddaughter of a once lost crew member, reunites him with Shan and escape to confront the dangerous web of interstellar politics.Meanwhile, he's faced with the suspicion of Lonis, a shape-shifting Saurian Enforcement Agent, unsure if the planet's mysterious guest is truly a diplomat, a spy, or something far worse. Allies may be predators. Enemies may wear familiar faces but somewhere in the void between the stars, empires tremble with secrets of weapons hidden inside warships, interstellar councils plotting in the dark, and a rogue Saurian whose true loyalties remain a mystery.In the void between stars, allies are predators, enemies wear familiar faces, and the greatest weapon isn't a ship, it's the truth.
