Maktel Geebrit, Pleskit's pen pal from back home on Hevi-Hevi, is finally going to visit him on Earth. Pleskit is excited, but a little nervous, too. How will Maktel get along with Pleskit's new friend, Tim?
And just how does a kid cope with having two best friends on the same planet, anyway?
As if that question wasn't hard enough, Pleskit's Fatherly One also has an off-world visitor -- an elegant trader named Ellico vec Bur. But is Ellico really a friend, or is the trader also a traitor...the greatest menace that the mission to Earth has yet faced?
The search for an answer plunges Pleskit, Tim, Maktel, and Linnsy into danger beyond their wildest dreams!
Synopsis
Pleskit is thrilled that his friend Maktel will be able to make a short visit to Earth, but he doesn't realize how difficult it can be to juggle two best friends in the same town. The book includes a Glossary of new Hevi Hevi words and phrases.
