Thumar

Thumarian society overflows with contradictions. It is technologically advanced, yet spiritually enlightened and traditional.

These contradictions fascinate Derak Jamar III, who grew up on the crowded, smoky streets of New York City in the twenty fifth century. As the Alliance's newly appointed representative to Thumar, Derak is entranced by the unique belief systems of the inhabitants. This challenges him as a human being, and leads to self-discovery.

After he meets the gorgeous and brilliant Shesain Andehar, Derak must learn more than he bargained for about Thumarian courting practices. The attraction between the Earthling and the beautiful and passionate Thumarian intensifies as a gamma ray burst is on course to destroy them all. He has seven days.

Can Derak and Shesain avoid total annihilation of the planet Thumar?
