About This Book

A veteran Earth-Guard captain and his crew race through the space-lanes between Earth and the Moon to intercept a notorious space pirate called the Hawk. The tale depicts a busy lunar economy of mines and luxurious orbital cities serviced by regular rocket traffic, and describes the armed patrols that protect that commerce. Action scenes alternate with shipboard procedure and tense pursuit, while the narrative explores the tactical difficulties and responsibilities of defending cargo and passengers against daring corsairs in the vacuum of space.
