Synopsis: Asteroid miner Mary Rodrigo and freighter owner Mattim Abeeb are green draftees of the Society of Humanity, forced to fight for Earth - a planet they've never even seen. Major Ray Longknife and his lover, Senior Pilot Rita Nuu, are career soldiers, invested with the cause of the Unity Party - and its ambitious new president.
These four soldiers on opposing sides of the battle are about to discover the true nature of this war - a quest for profit - from the high command of both sides.
