| Plot Summary of The Last Enemy |
|---|
"This is the third book in a trilogy, available in The Enemy Papers along with Enemy Mine and The Tomorrow Testament. Yazi Ro is a soldier on Amadeen, a planet where humans and Dracs have been fighting and killing each other for some time. He cannot fight any longer and, in trying to aid the peace process he turns to Willis Davidge, the earthman from the first book. Their journey for a resolution to the conflict takes them to other planets and finally, with a group they gather, to Amadeen itself. There they initiate a radical solution to end the fighting and must prove the worthiness of their idea."
