No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
When Allen Allenson, scion of a noble family that has fallen on hard times, gets a mission to roust the power-hungry Terrans from a βwildβ star sector where theyβre encroaching, he jumps at the chance to show his individual worth, improve his familyβs fortunes β and gather enough lucre to make a good marriage.Β Β But the wily Terrans are not so easily persuaded by a young colonial they think of as a rube.
Worse, Riders, the beings who naturally ply the wilderness between the stars, are playing their own deadly political games β against the Terrans, against the colonials, and against one young greenhorn commander in particular: naΓf young Allen, whom they figure they can manipulate to do their bidding.Β The one thing nobody has counted on is the fact that Allen, while young and inexperienced, and much to his own amazement, happens to be a hero in the making.
