Lunzie, fresh from her adventures in The Death of Sleep, has discovered that the one good heavyworlder she ever met isn't so good after all . . . Dupaynil, having made the mistake of pushing Sassinak too far, has been exiled to Seti space aboard a tiny escort vessel - where he's discovered that the crew are in the pay of the planet pirates . . . Then there's Sassinak, ordered to report to FedCentral for the trial of the mutineer Tanegli. She's been told to disarm her ship when it enters restricted space; she's been told her crew can't have liberty or leave; and she's been told to follow all the rules. But the only person who might be able to stop the disaster ahead has never been one to follow the rules . . .
