Description
Two years after the events of The Pride of Chanur, Pyanfar Chanur returns to Meetpoint Station with The Pride to find Goldtooth and Tully. Goldtooth persuades Pyanfar to take Tully with her and head for mahen space as the kif are hunting Tully. The mahendo'sat brought Tully from human space and are paving the way for a fleet of human ships to open up trade with the Compact. But the kif and the stsho do not want a human presence for fear of losing their place and influence in the Compact. The kif are themselves involved in a power struggle: Akkhtimakt and Sikkukkut, two hakkikts are vying for the position of mekt-hakkikt. Sikkukkut draws a reluctant Pyanfar into the feud, and her association with the kif puts her at odds with the han. The kif conflict spills over into hani space, threatening the hani homeworld, but Goldtooth and the human fleet arrive and the two hakkikts are defeated. A small delegation of Compact ships return with the human ships to human space to investigate trade. Pyanfar offers Tully the opportunity to return with the human ships, but he elects to remain on The Pride as a crew member.
