Publisher's Synopsis
PIRATES, ALIENS, BUREAUCRATS - WHO CAN YOU TRUST?
Korax is a colony world beset by problems. Pirates have targeted the world for plunder, a race of wandering alien nomads have made themselves at home and the colony's new governor seems intent on making enemies of just about everyone. Jefferson Odett would rather be out on the rim, fighting the war for humanity, but a misadventure has landed him here. Now he has to try to secure a planet that does not want its new governor, the aliens who have moved in, or the platoon of undisciplined soldiers under Odett's command. The only thing the colony seems to want is the pirate that Odett has been ordered to kill. Action-filled military science fiction by the author of DEBT'S PLEDGE and THE PARADIGM TRAP
