Shelby Crawford Jerome Prescott Cheever V is one of the richest young men of the twenty-second century. His life on Earth has been spent in idle luxury, until a careless mistake strands him on a mining colony in the Messina Dust Cloud, twenty-seven light years from Earth. Stuck among the miners for at least six months, far from his fortune and hordes of servants, Shelby must learn to survive in space - and to fend for himself. His new life is full of dangers and surprises, but it may also reveal the true shape of his destiny.
