Plot

I.D.I.C. – Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combination. This is a philosophical cornerstone of the Vulcan society. Currently, a mysterious plague has hit the planet, a plague somehow tied into I.D.I.C and the fact hundreds of races also currently make their home on Vulcan as well. Unfortunately Vulcan is also a central part of Starfleet and the Federation as well, so if it falls, war might follow.

Continuity

The book features Daniel and T'Mir, a human/Vulcan couple from the author's previous novel, The Vulcan Academy Murders.

gollark: I mean, how can you game on only 8 cores below 6GHz?!
gollark: Honestly... not the 9900XE?
gollark: Overclocked Titan RTXes in 4-way SLI with liquid helium cooling.
gollark: <@270871921137025024> Pfft, only a 2080? Real men use the Titan RTX.
