About This Book

A desperate pilot must obtain a small cruiser within a tight deadline to return to a distant asteroid and enlists his Jovian companion in the attempt. They track down a pleasure-seeking party that has chartered the Sunsprite and confront social friction and bargaining with the group's leader, Gloria Loring. Once aboard, the story shifts to tense shipboard action as the pilot navigates deadly meteor swarms toward the objective while internal conflicts flare and outside hazards multiply, culminating in encounters with harsh, hostile environments tied to a world renowned for its many moons.
