History
First publication: Galaxy, March 1971
Review
A pretty good but short space opera. The characters and situations are very well written and thought out. The culture out in the asteroids seems gritty and realistic, with everyone kind of seedy and nobody trusting anybody. A good ending too. Recommended.
