Maxine Justice is an ambulance-chasing lawyer desperate for relevance and cash when aliens hire her to represent them before the United Nations. An off-planet consortium wants to heal humanity of every natural disease in exchange for 30 percent of Earth's gold reserves. The deal launches Max to legal stardom and makes her an international target for assassins. MediCorp, Star Cross, PharFuture--the big medical companies all have good reasons to want Max out of the way. Worse, she discovers her alien clients may be planning something more sinister than anyone has imagined.
