Blood of Denebria (Star Sojourner) Jean Kilczer

Jules Rammis, telepath, astrobiologist, and reluctant hero, has faced a lot of nasty aliens and Terrans in his adventures. But never a race so sinister, so cruel, that it invades the peaceful planet of Denebria specifically to use its people as a food supply. Jules is drawn into the fray when his former father-in-law and team leader, retired W-CIA Counter Terrorist captain Joe Hatch, convinces Jules to accompany his team to Denebria as one more undercover agent posing as a consultant. Jules must attempt to discover the BEMs' homeworld in a mindlink with a BEM leader, and allow the Worlds Alliance forces to engage the brutal race on their own turf. It should be an easy walk in the park, but the BEMs show a little more resourcefulness than anyone expected, and Jules and the team find themselves in a fight for their own lives. Jules is compelled to increase his powerful tel abilities even further. But is it enough to vanquish the BEMs' All Mother, giant producer of thousands of eggs and a powerful telepath in her own right, or has Jules finally met his match?
