About This Book

A luxury orbital transfer hotel becomes the center of a calculated scheme to destroy itself and a docking liner in order to eliminate incriminating cargo and witnesses. A capable guest and a woman with ties to past espionage discover that hotel management and much of the security force have been compromised by a militant Brotherhood plotting mass obliteration. They move through sealed portals, arm themselves, and work with a few allies to expose the plot and avert catastrophe. The tale combines brisk suspense, improvised tactics, and tensions between engineered environments and human cunning.
