The Eirene Initiatives

Oh, bo-oys, have we got a vacation for you!Jerry and Kelvin return to Caris for two tasks. One is deadly serious; the other might be tremendous fun-as well as a lot of work. Along the way,they relive their earliest days together, make an important discovery about a little-known Carisian species, spend time with two girls who admire them, and play with unexpectedly friendly large felines. They also serve as the final reviewers of the terrorists' trial from their first adventure three years before-and land in the middle of the political turmoil around it.After the trial's fireworks comes their second task: leading a survey mission on an uninhabited world for a group of high-achieving students. Commanding their mission doesn't seem too difficult...until they encounter an alien race, poisonous and carnivorous plants, a disastrous shuttle flight, and to cap it all off-a dormant volcano that suddenly wakes beneath them. Managing their trainees seems much easier than handling a suddenly hostile world!Join the hijinks and roller-coaster ride as Jerry and Kelvin work to build The Eirene Initiatives...
