Book description
In this, the fifth book in the Tower and the Hive series, the
children of Damia and Afra Lyon take up new and demanding
responsibilities - trying to discover the whereabouts of all the
Hiver-occupied worlds. For the Hivers are still a terrible threat and
can bring total annihilation to both humans and their furry allies the
Mrdini unless the remaining Hiver Queens can be prevented from further
colonization. And a startling additional problem has arisen with the
Mrdini. No longer dying as drastically as they once had in their
ceaseless struggle against the Hivers, they face a serious population
explosion and need the help of the Medical Prime Zara Lyon.
