After his near brush with death in the previous book, Zander returns home to his family at last. They are delighted to see him, but Felix feels a bit on the sidelines, unfit to be the consort of a son of one of the richest families in the galaxy. Zander loves him so much that he is blind to the possibility that Felix might weigh himself against the rest of Zander's life and feel that he can't compete. And Zander's family are determined to bring him back into the fold and not lose him again.
Zander's attempts to live up to everyone's demands get further tangled up in schemes of the AEF who do not want their experimental soldiers running around getting publicity for the things done to them. And a distress call to action gives Felix what he thinks is a way out from under all the pressure. But separating is not helping either man learn to cope with their stresses.
This book is less angsty than the last, more conspiracy theory and frustration and miscommunication. But another solid episode in the eventful lives of two men who should be together, if the universe would just quit kicking them in the gut.
