The Lost Temple of Phoketh. Loren Alaysia, Galactic Vigilante, #2

Loren Alaysia looks evil straight in the face and is surprised to see a little of herself looking back... Loren is contacted by an archaeologist who has discovered the resting place of the fabled Temple of Tenctu Sychi. He meant to utilize the temple's legendary power to save his terminally ill wife, but the powers contained in the lost temple came with a hidden price, not just for those who used it, but perhaps for every creature in the Four Arms of the Galaxy. Now, a malevolent entity has been released and threatens to claim the entire galaxy - and everything living thing in it - as her own. Time for Loren to get to work.
