One mistake by space linguist Jalila could cost an alien species
their lives. The crew of the starship Ibn Battuta has 24 hours to
prepare the people of planet Vox to face an approaching invasion
fleet. But when Jalila mistakenly uses a forbidden slur, the Vox
locals attack their supposed saviors. Drawn into a violent
revolution, a "war of words" to decide language dominance, Jalila
must rely on other resources when deprived of communication
technology and even the power of speech. As revolution and invasion
collide, only Jalila can save her shipmates and the planet Vox by
revealing the secret behind the slur that started it all, the dark
secret linking Vox and invaders in an ancient cycle of slavery,
suffering, lies, and death. Don't miss this mind-blowing science
fiction thriller from an award-winning Star Trek and Doctor Who
