There’s trouble in the Aswan Star System, and Darell is sent in to find out what’s going on. The system president wants to return to the old ways, where men ruled and women obeyed, and he is chafing under the empire’s rules. Especially an empire run by a woman. Piracy is on the rise, and the system government is cracking down on dissidents. Most of the planet lives in poverty. Darrell must figure out what’s going on before the planet and system explodes into chaos. Will Darrel be able to foil the president’s plots? One thing is for certain—it’s going to take a Snake in order to get the job done!
