Publisher's Synopsis
The colonists of the planet Montana are accustomed to being ignored. Situated in the buffer zone between two rival human empires, their world is a backwater: remote, provincial, independently minded. Even as a provincial member of the Republic of Aligned Worlds, Montana merits little consideration - until it becomes a flashpoint in an impending interstellar war. When pirate raids threaten to destabilize the region, the RAW deploys its mechanized armoured infantry to deal with the situation.
