Author Description

Nexus makes a movie. Nexus visits planet Pfaffen to make a movie, Hidden in Plain Sight, to popularize the new three-species alliance. He'd rather study the cloud-tree skylands. But his job is technical consultant, liaison to the aliens. All three species live on the Pfaffen skylands. But a croc spy base, and the reclusive testudo, remained hidden. Humans never knew. Three problems. First, Nexus's digital friends demand equal standing as sentient species. He isn't worried about the robot mink. But his translator was the victor in Earth's AI Wars. Second, for the movie, aliens can't act. Nexus has enough trouble briefing the human actors. Third, the Pfaffen crocs work for the Hierophant - the shadow power of fortune-telling oracles who advise the croc emperors. As an oracle, Nexus could learn so much from the pros. But the secretive Hierophant might control all crocs, via their symbiotes. Now it seeks to own Nexus, too. Don't miss the exciting conclusion to the Nexus and Thrive series!
