Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0380753480, Paperback)

Recovering from a mission on Mars, Sparta finds herself the guest of the Space Board. But relaxation is short-lived as Sparta soon sets out to investigate the Board itself. It appears that members of Free Spirit, a religious cult bent on galactical control, have infiltrated the Space Board.
