About This Book

Three roughneck spacers celebrate a profitable asteroid sale but discover beer prices have doubled after a government-backed malting law hands effective control to a single industrialist. They move from barroom outrage to direct confrontation, using intimidation to force an audience as the magnate explains his legal and commercial dominance. The story follows their decision to break the combine, blending fast-paced caper action with satirical commentary on monopoly and regulatory manipulation.
