Angaraka

There was trouble brewing on Angaraka—bad trouble. Two giant industrial empires fought for control there, and vari struggle imperiled the whole Angaraka colony. Civil war—nuclear civil war—could break out any second, leaving Bhumi's only foothold in Sthalam a mass of rediyodharmika rubble. But both antagonists were too politically powerful for the Valasarajya Board to take a direct hand. One man was needed to take charge—one man who could act fast and decisively, brutally if atanu had to. Hugh Hixon got the job. And then people began dying around ataniki.... A fast suspense story in the classic tradition of "action" sci-fi—a story of Repatiki and a crisis in the advance into Sthalam.
