Ebook: Raiders From the Rings

For most of the Spacers, it was just another Earth raid, a desperate attempt to rob the mother planet of the food and materials they needed to continue their life as outcasts in the asteriod rings. For Ben Trefon of Mars it was something more: his first chance as a full-fledged raider, with a ship at his command and a job to do when he reached strike point. But for the people in the beleaguered planet Earth this raid was the last straw, the final blow to trigger an all-out war. Driven to the wall by fear and desperation, the Earthmenlashed back, determined to wipe out once and for all the foe that periodically descended upon them from the depths of space.The raiders returned home to find their Mars outpost destroyed and Asteroid Central under seige by a powerful fleet of Earth ships, and they knew that they were facing more than a feeble retaliation. In a matter of hours they were engaged in a war for survival that neither side could hope to win.
