Cataclysm — Theresa Snyder

Meet the Krackow, a species so advanced in their star travel they do not concern themselves with ecologically destroying their 'home' planet. Once the planet becomes uninhabitable they simply move on to another pristine jewel in the galaxy's crown. They have just moved in on the Henu planet bringing with them destruction and disease - a disease that threatens the survival of the Henu colony. Arr and Taylor are testing the waters as partners now that Jake is gone. Taylor's unorthodox winnings from a friendly card game prove to be challenging, but ultimately it may be that prize which will be the answer to the whole colony's future. The power of love takes on a whole new meaning when the Krackow come face-to-face with someone even their technology cannot surpass.
