From publisher blurb: Hostilities have been increasing in the Sonora sector between the Olonsean Empire and the Ilsunsi Directorate. War seems imminent. Recently the Olonseans have discovered that the Ilsunsi have placed a listening post on the edge of their territory which appears to be intercepting Olonsean Naval Codes. An Olonsean naval intelligence officer offers a substantial amount of money for the travelers to visit this facility. He wants everyone there eliminated and all data recovered. He would prefer that this be done discretely by someone not connected to the Olonsean Empire.
