Because the Phone Company controls all communications with the aliens, their operatives like Jason operate above the law.Now, on the space platform Evensong, one of the Phone Company's scientists has gone missing before surfacing in a hospital with amnesia, and Jason is sent to investigate. Right as he arrives, the body of a murdered Varvax ambassador is discovered, sure to cause a galactic incident. Coln Abrams of the United Intelligence Bureau seizes the opportunity to investigate Jason as he deals with the crisis. This could be the UIB's chance to discover the Phone Company's secrets—how does FTL communication work, and what is Jason hiding.Winner of Spain's UPC Award for Science Fiction in 2007.
