In a moment of haste, frustration, and anger, Otto Putin killed a man and threw away a career in the Merchant & Manufacturers League Marine Corps. Allowed to resign, Putin returned to his home in Potsdam on the planet New Prussia. As he pondered a future career, his cousin, the Elector of New Prussia asked him to solve some problems with his security forces.

As he wrestled with the challenges of a military that resisted change, Putin also considered creating a security firm, more properly described as a mercenary outfit. Along the way he cultivated some new friendships with people who might help him in his future. He reconnected with a woman, a friend from twenty years ago. These people encouraged him to pursue his dreams.

Conflict with the Elector, a tragic spacecraft crash and a group of former Army officers attempting a coup threaten to end his dreams before they have properly begun. In this book we are introduced to the background of Otto Putin, who plays a part in several of Ward Wagher’s books.
