Publisher's Synopsis
The last free colony of the Solar System has yet to fall, but it cannot withstand the siege much longer. Under constant attack and kept from replenishing much-needed supplies by a planetary blockade, the colonists of Venus find themselves in desperate circumstances. Unwilling to let their stand be in vain, the surprise hero of the war - notorious ex-marine Vijaya 'Sam' Narayan - must reverse their fortunes before time runs out on man's last, best hope of resisting tyranny.
