Diplomatic Immunity synopsis:

Diplomatic Immunity involves an alien ambassador with seemingly insurmountable defenses (I compare it to a Spidey-Sense) who arrives on Earth to invite humanity to join his expansive galactic empire. The story explores themes of power, colonization, and the limits of human understanding when faced with alien intelligence.
Colonel Cercy and a team of scientists grapple with the challenge of neutralizing the alien ambassador, who possesses the uncanny ability to transform into whatever threatens him. As they attempt various lethal strategies—ranging from high-powered weapons to psychological manipulation to flame throwers and wild animals—they discover that the ambassador’s incredible powers stem from a fundamental principle of chaos that underlies his existence. Once the alien senses chaos, it transforms itself and escapes the oncoming danger. Will the Colonel and his crew be able to “revoke” the Ambassador before the alien fleet arrives? Find out in Diplomatic Immunity!
The narrative is both humorous and thought-provoking, raising questions about authority, resistance, and the nature of intelligence in a richly imaginative setting.

I hope you, and your students enjoy reading* Diplomatic Immunity*, and continue to do so for many years.

Excelsior!
