WAR EXISTS ON EARTH BETWEEN THE NAU AND ORIENTAL CTAC EMPIRES
A freighter limps home to Kraken Colony. Although a neutral, they were savaged but managed to escape. Expecting to be broken, their captain is instead ordered to a politician's estate on Kraken. The colony is trapped, both NAU and CTAC forces press common spacers into service, murder the officers, and confiscate ships. Kraken will declare independence.
Jankin Decatur is given a commission and a converted freighter they call a 'frigate'. Their maiden cruise - they come upon a merchant in the process of being boarded by an enemy frigate. Kraken rangers secretly board, take both vessels, and learn that colonial prisoners are held in harsh conditions in a prison on distant Mars. Captain Jankin Decatur must decide; follow the detailed orders of his commission or attempt a prisoner rescue on the enemy's own, distant doorstep.
