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.
Heir to a powerful dynasty, Jefferson Kopal has never lived up to his family's expectations. Tradition dictates that, like his long-lost father, Jeff should serve with distinction in the deep-space navy, but when Jeff blows his entrance exams, he assumes his future is over. But if he's such a screwup, why is he tapped by the navy for an urgent mission to the farthest depths of outer space? Why send the "black sheep" to deal with the threat of rebellious cyborgs? Something's not quite right, and Jeff has to figure out what's really going on - if he lasts that long.
