The narrative follows Kendall Stone, who races against time to avert the execution of Galth of Rastol, an alien whose death would trigger the annihilation of a human colony on Rastol III. The book explores themes of honor, injustice, and the clash of cultures. The story begins with Kendall Stone arriving at Mojave Spaceport, where he learns that Galth is set to be executed at dawn for murder—one that he did not commit. As Stone delves into a bureaucratic maze, he discovers a conspiracy involving Earth officials who wish to eliminate Galth to monopolize the production of essential medicines. Throughout the narrative, Stone's determination to save Galth and his family drives him into dangerous confrontations, including a desperate escape and a thrilling aerial pursuit. Ultimately, he successfully delivers the truth to the governor just in time to spare Galth's life and save the colony, highlighting the stakes of cultural misunderstandings and the value of human life across species.
