About This Book

A pilot who runs a Cutter that keeps a single tunnel open through a hazardous asteroid belt grows restless and seeks transfer to a warrior patrol as war looms between two nearby satellites. He clashes with his longtime navigator and with Tunnel Operations over leaving steady, dangerous duty; supervisors explain that the tunnel must remain open to serve many satellites and that an independent fighting group will protect it. The story follows the pilot's struggle between routine responsibility, loyalty to his teammate, and the desire for glory and broader action in forthcoming conflict.
