About This Book

A resourceful space-born mechanic moves among planets repairing failing machines and becomes both savior and outcast to a technology-dependent civilization. Pursued across desert worlds by troopers and hauled before petty magistrates, he faces accusations for performing forbidden maintenance on obsolete but vital equipment while defying a rigid technocratic authority that controls sanctioned repairs. The narrative links tense chases and courtroom scenes with technical problem-solving, examining individual ingenuity versus institutional control, cultural misunderstanding, and the precarious value of practical knowledge in a highly regulated society.
