About This Book

Lieutenant Corriston visits a glittering orbiting space station and soon confronts a hidden menace that has seized control of the artificial moon. After witnessing a killing and failing to find a missing woman, he discovers imposters using disguises, passengers being fleeced and enslaved, and unearthly monsters and advanced devices stalking the station. Pursued and severely wounded, he maneuvers through sabotage, deception, and deadly encounters to uncover the perpetrators' motives; his attempts to unmask the conspiracy carry personal stakes for his survival, for a woman's fate, and for Earth's future.
