Book Description
================
  The third of Sheffield's Jupiter novels (after Higher Education [1995] and The Billion Dollar Boy ) starts with teenager Josh Kerrigan being deserted by his mother, then, along with a number of other unwanted children, fobbed off by his uncle on an interstellar exploration team. The team stops on the planet Solferino, which looks like a farming paradise but is actually the object of a deadly duel between two gigantic corporations. Thanks to the street smarts of the youngsters plus the unsuspected presence of an undercover cop, the bad guys are somewhat messily foiled. In the process, it is discovered that Solferino has intelligent native life, which puts it permanently off-limits for the dueling corporations. Once again the plot of a Jupiter novel includes some serious implausibilities; yet its pace is brisk, its technical detail is flawless, and its protagonists, Josh and his autistic cousin, Dawn, are the best drawn of any in the series so far.
