Caitlin considers herself a carrion crow--living off the bones of the dead who have been left to drift in space at the end of the ugly war with the Allied Worlds.
But many old warriors consider her work sacrilegious: they believe the dead should be buried on the planet they died above, their bodies left to rot in the earth, not returned home to their families.
Caitlin knows the immense value of this last group of corpses in her cargo bay. Can she outwit those chasing after her? Even if it turns out to be an old friend?
This exciting science fiction story pits friend against friend, where only the most clever survives. Set in the same universe as "The Claim Jumper", "Wild One", "Hero" and other stories.
Genre: Science Fiction
