About This Book

A high-ranking officer in the Thirty Suns government rebels against an oppressive Tetrarchy, is captured after interrogation, and is publicly tried while his former lover, now an agent of the Security Police, provides damning testimony. Convicted of treason, he faces execution by disintegration or transfer to a remote provincial arsenal for experimental use. At the same time a rival provincial governor launches apocalyptic rockets that threaten galactic civilization, and the officer, driven by a memory command to preserve something from the ruins, makes a desperate attempt to flee and salvage whatever can survive the coming catastrophe.
