"Firsten Guide is not a man to be reckoned with. Expelled from the Space Academy at age fourteen for one too many duels, raised in the lawless camps of Mars' southern ice cap and cast aside by his family, Firsten's experiences have made him resourceful, respected and feared. But it's just that brute strength of character which convinces a handful of Martian colonists to follow him as he leads a risky venture into space, escaping the tyrannical Earth government that has all but slaughtered them."
