In a not too distant future, Humanity has spread into the solar system. Self-sufficient colonies, forward-looking and fiercely independent, suffuse the Asteroid belt. There is abundant mineral wealth, but the tragedy of Humanity is that sufficient is never enough. Squabbling over rights and turf has led the two biggest Middle system powers, the Triangle League and the Virtue Confederation, into a costly and unending war. But now the League has a plan, one that might break the stalemate and force a victory. Admiral Jack Courage, disgraced by the labyrinthine politics of the Confederation, has to take a scratch force of rookie warriors and obsolete warships to Jupiter to try and face them down. One of his new recruits is Josie Tallion, an outsider from the Jupiter protectorates who will have to face her own personal demons in the acid test of battle Will she break when the crunch comes? And if Jack Courage cannot somehow manage to avert disaster, will it matter anyway?
