      About This Book

      Tom Dreyfus is a Prefect, a law-enforcement officer with, the Panoply. His beat is the Glitter Band, that vast swirl of space habitats orbiting the planet Yellowstone, the teeming hub of a human interstellar empire spanning many worlds.

      His current case: investigating a murderous attack against one of the habitats that left over nine hundred people dead. But his investigation uncovers something far more serious than mass slaughter—a covert plot by an enigmatic entity who seeks nothing less than total control of the Glitter Band.
