Death by Arrogance (Paperback) | Released: 16 Feb 2017

Jeevra reported to Abit. "Brought something in, I hear," said Abit. "Is it specially interesting, Jeevra?" He was not completely over his dismissive attitude towards Jeevra.

"Tons of information that will amaze your anthropological mind," Jeevra said pleasantly. "I have some interesting documents from New Terre." /p>

"Who knows," he said deciding to be friendly. "Archeology might just take an interesting turn. It's been awhile since we've found something really out of the ordinary." /p>

"I think what we've brought back from New Terre will qualify as out of the ordinary, at least from our narrow perspective. I have written a sort of book in three dections from the material given to me by a woman named Artemy." Also, there is a good description of the war from a Progeny point of view. It differs in many ways from what we have believed. It is what we need to interpret the wall, the history wall," Jeevra replied. "I had forgotten what the Sabins told us. You really didn't believe me anyway. Remember, I told you they said we would know why the statue of those five was so preserved when we understood the war. You will find out in the book. " /p>

Here is Jeevra's book in three parts. The first section is a history, cum romance between a spy from Symmetry and a powerful Jonkie, describing the rise, the unification, and the state of the Tetra planets and those planets that Jeevra settled in the first book. The romance occurs not long before the breakup of the Progeny hegemony. Zedska and Magda travel across the United Federation of Planets (UFP). They see the seeds of the coming decline all around them. Some of the planets even need garden planets to maintain an oxygen and carbon dioxide balance. The hatred between the Tetras and the Progeny is palpable.

The second story is also a romance, this time between Pelis, a Progeny politician from the Takabit Federation, and Avita, an endangered Mossian Jonkie. It takes place after the breakup of the UFP. Pelis takes Avita on a trip across the now-divided federations on the way to a place where Jonkies are accepted. Both are astonished by the reaction of primitives to Avita, particularly that of the Bigstrong and the dragons on Atwell. There are less benign Progeny who appear interested in the nature of the relationship between Pelis and Avita and in perhaps sinister ways.

Finally, in the third story, the almost inevitable war breaks out across the galaxy leaving the wake of destruction that Jeevra saw when she arrived back the galaxy in the last book. However, in addition to destruction, there is great heroism from an unexpected source.
