Because of being unchanged for many thousands of years on earth, his spirit has taken on a life of its own and is now inhabiting the body of Fen, a cousin of Zara's. Taryn's spirit and will is strong and he wants to rule the three planet system.

He steals an armory ship and heads back to earth to sell the arms to whoever will buy them.

In the fight a dear friend is killed, one who loved Zara and died saving her life.
