Shrapnel: Hubris

The last free colony in the Solar System has yet to fall, but how long can it withstand the siege?  Under constant barrage from orbit, and kept from replenishing much-needed supplies by a planetary blockade, the colonists of Venus find themselves in desperate circumstances.  But unwilling to let their stand be in vain, the surprise hero of the war--notorious ex-marine Vijaya "Sam" Narayan--must reverse their fortunes before time runs out on man's last hope of resisting tyranny!
