This sci-fi anthology of short stories is the second instalment in the Haadri cycle. It covers a dozen of the diplomatic missions undertaken by Kazestrel and Triskayen – heroes of the first novel Prime Contact. It details many of the incidents mentioned in passing in the novel, but Missions is written to be enjoyed on its own, and is a great introduction to Haadri...
Here we find out how...
...the Collective protocols for Xlaca were established (and the galaxy made safe from hordes of drunken Plarithdi!)
...the arms limitation treaty between Fhyru and Bornath was negotiated, and peace restored to the Nomads of the Plains
...the genocidal activities of the colonists on Kraach were ended and an unusual settlement reached
... Poiyndree, the High Sjeniden of Pree, was awakened to wholeness after being assumed dead
...and the ceremony of the undying dead on Alaitz was resolved, with the reuniting of the infant divinity 'Kees with its hostling to avert a global war.
The first volume in the Haadri cycle – Prime Contact – tells of Kazestrel's voyage of discovery and self-discovery. Official meetings and amorous meetings with memorable and colourful characters, are all just part of a Mediator's work on exotic and often dangerous worlds – until Kaz arrives on Heart and becomes personally involved...
