• Entry #2 in the Citizen series, and sequel to Into the Hinterlands
  by biological scientist Dr. John Lambshead and nationally best-selling David
  Drake.
• The Right Man for a Very Bad Job! The Cutter Stream colonies were at peace.
  If everybody behaved reasonably, that peace could last a thousand years. Allen
  Allenson had known war; it had made him peaceful and reasonable. He was far too
  experienced to believe the same was true of all his fellow colonists, however,
  let alone the government of the distant homeworld across the Bight. War was
  coming, a war that the colonies had to win if they were ever to be more than
  prison camps and a dumping ground for incompetent noblemen. The experience that
  had caused Allenson to hate war made him the only man who could lead the
  colonial army. Allenson knew that he wasn't really a general, but he understood
  his fellow colonists better than any homeworld general could. He would free the
  Cutter Stream, or die trying. What Allen Allenson would not do, what he would
  never do, was quit!
