About This Book

A human colony on Titan endures a merciless invasion by furred Callistan forces that burn crops and bombard settlements. Community meetings split between patriotic resistance and practical evacuation, with a machinist arguing for withdrawal to save families and a schoolteacher accusing him of cowardice. Tension rises as raiders press the attack, Saturn's rings and orbital hazards complicate escape, and an elder claims to know a means of defeating the invaders. The story follows the clash of survival strategy, communal courage, and improvisation in a fragile frontier outpost.
