Synopsis: For centuries, two bloodthirsty Fleets - one Silver and one Gold - fought a war for the domination of space. At the mercy of both Fleets, the planets were regularly pillaged and destroyed: their resources taken as supplies and their children taken as slaves. In a desperate attempt at sabotage, the Grounders had been secretly infiltrating the Fleets for years. But only one person could put the plan in motion: a spy highly trained in the arts of subterfuge and persuasion. And when the Silver Fleet took a fifteen-year-old girl captive, they unknowingly brought aboard the Agent of Destruction. (from the back cover of the Ace Books first edition)
