They know the world is dying, but they hope not in their lifetimes. Meanwhile, they're top dogs and will do anything to stay that way.
Doig Gray is fifteen when his father is killed in a mining accident, which Doig comes to realizes was no accident. Torn from his mother and sister, Doig is sent off to college, his every movement monitored in case he has inherited his dissident father's unacceptable attitudes . . . or passwords. Doig has nothing but his own sense that there's something desperately wrong with the world-and a last name that evokes the assumption that he's destined to be the next traitor-hero.
The Traitor's Son is a science fiction novel about a colony world where everything that could go wrong already has. Stuck on the wrong world at the wrong site, with the wrong leaders, the colony is doomed to extinction unless immediate steps are taken to correct-everything. But 500 years of hiding from the reality of their situation has created an unchallengeable status quo-and the Accident Squad, determined to ensure it remains that way.
The Traitor's Son is a fast-paced SF adventure in the best tradition of Duncan's Hero, West of January, and Eocene Station.
