Alternate Cover Editon: B00IAOMQ3C Areva Praphasat can't shoot anyone who is looking directly at her. Since she's a cop, this causes problems. Since she also works on a spaceship attempting to undermine an alien empire that wants to invade Earth, those problems grow a bit out of control. When an espionage mission goes awry and Areva is captured by a group of spidery aliens who can't understand her language, she faces the reality that her desire to stay out of sight may hinder her work more than she realized.
