Lone Star Planet

Can one diplomat save a planet where assassination is practically a civic tradition? Stephen Silk expected trouble when he was appointed Solar League Ambassador to New Texas, but nothing could prepare him for a world where politicians survive only if the public thinks they deserve to. Sent to investigate the murder of his predecessor, negotiate annexation, and expose a looming alien threat, Silk must navigate barbecue diplomacy, pistol-packed courtrooms, feuding ranchers, and the shadowy schemes of the canine-descended z'Srauff. With enemies on every side and allies of uncertain loyalty, he discovers that on the Lone Star Planet, diplomacy may require a very fast draw.
