About This Book

A grizzled space-trader arrives on Venus to find his friend abruptly arrested and sentenced to hard labor while the friend's ship and cargo are confiscated and auctioned almost immediately. Suspicious corruption and a dangerous swamp prison are revealed amid a local power structure dominated by opportunistic settlers and indifferent officials; rumors tie visits to Mercury with a deadly influence afflicting traders. Observing odd signs—a man with a duplex complexion and unusually rapid bureaucratic action—the trader sets out to investigate the conspiracy behind the arrests, the illegal sale, and the spreading menace.
