About This Book

A hard-faced newspaperman documents the hunt for an enigmatic interplanetary outlaw accused of slaughtering a sunship's passengers and stealing a fortune in a vital radioactive metal, triggering huge bounties and a manhunt. The account moves between orbital lanes, lunar resorts, and a towering observatory built to high-altitude standards, introducing an eccentric scientist, his lively daughter, and a mysterious associate. Futuristic urban details, sunships, heliocars, interior cylindrical settlements, and reportage techniques frame a story of piracy, investigation, and technological wonder as competing interests converge to uncover the outlaw's identity.
