Steward is a Beta-- a clone. In his memories, he's an elite commando for an orbital policorp-- but because his Alpha never did a brain-scan update, Steward's memories are fifteen years out of date . . . and in those fifteen years, everything has changed.
An interstellar war destroyed the company that held his allegiance. His wife has divorced him, along with the second wife that he can't even remember.

An alien race has arrived and become the center of a complex and deadly intrigue.
And someone has murdered him.
