Darkness Rising — J.S. Wayne

Having survived one assassination attempt, Colonel Pete Silva, Ambassador Olivia Gunnarson, and diplomat Merrick Grissom are watching their new love affair and the relations between their planet rending at the seams. An unseen enemy has destabilized diplomatic negotiations for reasons unknown, threatening not only the safety of the planet but the lives of the members of the Dusk Diplomatic Corps.



As the trio grows closer and comes to trust each other, the question of who else can be trusted becomes more timely and important than ever before. Each tick of the clock signals time running out… for Pete, Olivia, and Merrick as well as for a hapless alien race caught in the grip of an assassin with a personal agenda that plays both sides against the middle.
