To Own Two Suns - by Fran Tabor (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Morgi Knowledge: "Only against great odds, can greatness be revealed." Morgi Belief: "Divine Chance rules the universe."

Captain Jerry Jerrison, a reclusive research scientist, must become a warrior to earn Morgi recognition, or all humanity will die.

It is the year 2112. Jerrison's fragile research vessel is the first manned spaceship to venture beyond Neptune. He and his crew plan to research exotic Kuiper Belt objects. Instead the defenseless crew encounters a lone Morgi scout.

The two strongest Morgi clans are fighting for ownership of earth. The lone Morgi scout is from the weaker alien clan.

An unlikely friendship forms. Can an unarmed human tip the balance of power in favor of the weaker clan? If not, their new friend, his entire clan and all humanity will die. Capt. Jerrison faces great odds. Can he reveal human greatness?

Even if Jerrison succeeds, can aliens who employ realpolitic ("Doctor, which is better - a great peace supported by a lie or a massacre justified by the truth?") be trusted?
