Heās one of humankindās first representatives to Unity, a pan-species confederation working to bring all sentient life into a single benevolent brotherhood. Thatās what they told him, anyway. The only actual members of Unity that heās ever met are Boreau, a giant snail who seems more interested in plunder than spreading love and harmony, and Boreauās human sidekick, Neera, who Dalton strongly suspects roped him into this gig so that she wouldnāt become the next one of Boreauās crew to get eaten by locals while prospecting. Funny thing, thoughāturns out there actually is a benevolent confederation out there, working for the good of all life. They call themselves the Assembly, and they really donāt like Unity. More to the point, they really, really donāt like Unityās new human minions. When an encounter between Boreauās scout ship and an Assembly cruiser over a newly discovered world ends badly for both parties, Dalton finds himself marooned, caught between a stickman, one of the Assemblyās nightmarish shock troops, the planetās natives, who arenāt winning any congeniality prizes themselves, and Neera, who might actually be the most dangerous of the three. To survive, heāll need to navigate palace intrigue, alien morality, and a proposal that he literally cannot refuse, all while making sure Neera doesnāt come to the conclusion that heās worth more to her dead than alive. Part first contact story, part dark comedy, and part bizarre love triangle, The Fourth Consort The Fourth Consort asks an important question: how far would you go to survive? And more importantly, how many drinks would you need to go there? š„ Download Links: TFC: https://uploda.sh/ggOgHl3TABWF https://devuploads.com/ccswwi9u1g0v

Abandoned first by their mother, who drowned in the Long Island Sound, and then again by their father, who couldnāt see beyond his grief, each sibling has always been the otherās most ardent supporter: Demetri encouraged Avaās raw talent as a painter, while Ava pushed Demetri to pursue filmmaking. But as they make their way in New York, the codependency that once sustained them soon threatens to be their undoing.
