"When Ichabod Drift and the Keiko crew sign on for a new smuggling job to a mining planet, they don't realize what they are up against. The miners, badly treated for years by the corporation, are staging a rebellion. Split into two groups, one with the authorities and one with the rebels, Drift and his crew support their respective sides in the conflict. But when they are cut off from each other due to a communication blackout, both halves of the crew don't realize that they have begun fighting themselves."-- Provided by publisher.
