The story picks up less than a year after the events of High Priest on Union Station, with Kelly coming to the conclusion that EarthCent needs an intelligence service. Of course, EarthCent has no institutional knowledge of what spies do or how they work, so the new agency gets off to a slow start. Then Kelly and the Union Station crew come up with a brilliant idea.

Two years after the events of Alien Night on Union Station, Kelly faces new challenges as the EarthCent Ambassador. The growing acceptance of humans by their alien neighbors plus a measure of her own personal fame (or infamy) is resulting in too much work for an embassy with only two full-time staffers. Friends and family must wonder if the stress is finally getting to Kelly when she starts acting even more peculiar than usual.

Kelly Frank is EarthCent's top diplomat on Union Station, but her job description has always been a bit vague. The pay is horrible and she's in hock up to her ears for her furniture, which is likely to end up in a corridor because she's behind on rent for her room. Sometimes she has to wonder if the career she has put ahead of her personal life for 15 years is worth it.

They say family always sticks together, but when you're your dad's only lifeline and the whole world - humans, dragons, and gods - wants you dead, "family bonding" takes on a whole new meaning. My name is Opal Yong-ae, and I'm in way over my head. I thought getting rid of my dad's bad luck curse would put things back to normal. Instead, I'm stuck playing caretaker to the Great Dragon of Korea. That wouldn’t be so bad if he wasn't such a jerk, or if every dragon on the planet wasn't out to kill him, or if he was my only problem.

Another win for E.M. Foner
I'll be honest, I'm running out of things to say about these books, dang it. I am in awe, E.M. Foner has nailed it with this series. He keeps the books short so they don't drag or get stale. Speaking of stale, every book is so different from the previous ones that they are always new and exciting. This one is no different.
What we have this time around is two stories: one where Kelly is finally taking a vacation with her family and the other has some of our other heroes investigating this new scheme of some unknown group wanting humans to go to a democracy (gasp). It's been another couple years since the last book, so everyone is getting a little more (im)mature and growing.
Once more, I recommend this series to everyone. The first book is great but the most different, get past it and you will fall down the rabbit hole I have.
