About This Book

A captured Venusian pirate held on a small Callisto colony threatens the director's daughter, forcing local authorities to balance public safety against family loyalty. A rocketport dispatcher finds a wrecked single-place ship whose papers link the intruder to jewel shipments elsewhere, triggering a police search and raising fears of wider piracy. The narrative follows the procedural investigation, the community's tense preparations, and the director's moral burden as evidence, loyalties, and the captive's demands push officials toward difficult decisions.
