"The Marquis" is the fourth book in the author's Fesarius series of science fiction novels. The author has reimagined the Star Trek universe by adding elements of Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, a sprinkling of The Orville and other elements from The Discovery Channel, The History Channel, National Geographic and a boatload of common sense. Military accuracy is also stepped up to provide an entertaining read that is both comfortably familiar yet completely new.

After their success at the Decalon system (see book three, The Decalon Trap), starship Fesarius is ordered to explore an newly encountered solar system with an indigenous population of humanoids. The population is Earth-equivalent 1990AD and has radio- and TV broadcast ability, so the crew listen in to those transmissions to figure out their language and culture. The blueberry-blue race of beings call themselves Marquis and are at peace; it looks like an easy First Contact mission. More ominous, however, is the discovery of a fleet of small cube-shaped probes and their hidden hangars that secretly work to keep the individual chunks of debris that make up the rings of planet number seven orbiting in a tidy manner. The Marquis are not advanced enough to have put them out there, and no clue can be found as to who put them there and why. Given what happened at the Tombstone system (see book two, The Murdered World), this could spell trouble for the Marquis. Does the crew of Fesarius find out who build the probes? Will the Marquis agree to allow the humans to approach their world for First Contact? These questions and more are found within the pages of "The Marquis."
