Dashing Through the Stars

The holidays are a time of love, joy, and… meeting a new alien species?

Prince of the Ujal, Tave fa V'yl-Zeret, will do anything to make his mate happy. Even if that means celebrating a holiday he does not understand. (Tave does not care what human lore states, a single human could not circle the globe and deliver toys to every child.)

This year's biggest concern isn't whether he purchased enough toys for his youngling, but the alien battleship that enters Earth's orbit.

Are they friend? Or foe? Will Tave's family and friends live to see Christmas morning? Or will they all perish on Christmas Eve? For there is a humbug willing to go to any lengths to stop peace talks. Lengths that include kidnapping royalty and… assassination.
