About This Book

A seasoned man-hunter named Sam Knox patrols the Asteroid Belt under cover among clannish mining fleets, seeking a fugitive inventor linked to a high-profile corporate trial. While observing miners he aids an injured man, Timas Rorke, and his daughter, earning access to their vessel and discovering a photograph that connects the fugitive to the mining community. The narrative follows the practical dangers and isolation of asteroid fishing, the technologies that shape justice and industry—heat rods and mind-probes—and the tension between professional duty and unexpected human ties.
