Mankind's only interstellar colony has been trapped on a sideways planet for the last five hundred years. Alex Vonn, a young man with a talent for irritating others, gets involved in the conflict when a friend is tortured by foreign spies in the hull of an ancient space vessel. Seeking vengeance, he becomes Marshal Hugh Redland's newest deputy. Will this be an opportunity to find justice, or is he just being played as a pawn in a far-reaching scheme for global dominance? Will his efforts even matter on a planet that grows increasingly hostile to human life? The answers lie on a mountainous field of boulders at the edge of the civilized world.
