The Beginning of War — Ken Polson

Sealina is one of the pentacle products of Dractsocca evolution, a DractsoccaSai. She was born with the ability to meld with the organic ships that gracefully sail the Galaxy in search for resources and new colonies. She also has the ability to pull her ship, and anyone attached through space using the Web, a massive network of strong threads that connect the known systems together.
Strange beings made of energy have made their way to her Home World. They call themselves Gods and promise to protect the Dractsocca from an alien threat. All the Dractsocca have to do is worship them. Are they really gods or just the harbingers to The Beginning of War?
