EDITORIAL REVIEW:
In the wake of the Asteroid Wars that tore across the solar system, Victor Zacharius makes his living running the ore-carrier *Syracuse**.* With his wife and two children he plies the Asteroid Belt, hauling whatever cargo can be found. When the *Syracuse* stumbles into the middle of a military attack on the habitat *Chrysalis, *Victor flees in a control pod to draw the attackers attention away from his family. Now, as his wife and children plunge into the far deeps of space, Victor has been rescued by the seductive Cheena Madagascar. He must do her bidding if hes to have a prayer of ever seeing his family again.
Elverda Apacheta is the solar systems greatest sculptor. The cyborg Dorn was formerly Dorik Harbin, the ruthless military commander responsible for the attack on *Chrysalis*. Their lives and destinies have been linked by their joint discovery of the alien artifact that had, earlier, profoundly affected industrialist Martin Humphries. Similarly transformed by the artifacts mysterious powers, Apacheta and Dorn now prowl the Belt, determined to find the bodies of the many victims of Harbins atrocities so that they can be given proper burials.
Kao Yuan is the captain of *Viking*, owned by Martin Humphries, whos determined to kill Dorn and Elverda because they know too much about the artifact and its power over him. But *Viking*'s second-in-command, Tamara Vishinsky, appears to have the real power on board ship. When *Viking* catches up to Apacheta and Dorn, their confrontation begins a series of events involving them, the Zacharius family, and Martin Humphries and his son in the transformation of the human solar system
