New York: Ballantine Books, 2009 . Octavo, boards. First hardcover edition. The Erasmus System is a sprawling realm of slavery, smugglers, spies -- and constant, creeping decrepitude. But the Guardians, a special-forces branch inside the United World Government for Earth, have deemed Erasmus a 'hot spot.' Somehow, it is believed, this failing colony intends to launch a war upon the solar system. - publisher's jacket
