Change of Command
THEIR UNIVERSE IS FALLING APART!

Rejuvenants fear the backlash caused by bad drugs; they want to
ensure that nothing interferes with their pursuit of long life-or the
profit that comes from promising it to others. Neighbor states fear
the aggressive expansion of the Familias Regnant, fuelled by
population growth and extended lifespan. Within the Regular
Space Service, those who have received experimental
rejuvenations fear they may have been given bad drugs on
purpose. Esmay Suiza's family fears that her marriage to an
offworlder will damage their position. Barin Serrano's family fears
that his marriage to a Landbride of Altiplano will damage his career
and their reputation.

Fear begets violent reactions-from foreign governments, from
great Families determined to maintain or increase their power,
from internal rivalries in the Fleet-and nothing escapes the resultant
bloodbath unscathed. As Esmay and Barin struggle to reconcile
their families, others have more cosmic struggles to win.
