    About this ebook

    After a rebellion aboard a starship sent to colonize a new world is put down, the rebels are rendered immobile around an orbiting satellite. However, while the starship officers and crew oversee the initial stages of the nascent outpost, the rebels use virtual reality technology to invade their communications and initiate a propaganda campaign designed to turn the colonists against their erstwhile leaders.
