The mining colony at Drumwall Fortress on the planet of Cumaro was the ideal assignment: pristine, wild, and beautiful. There was, however, one deadly flaw -- Lord Banyon, the local tribal chieftain of the Mautlaut, a man the colonists knew better than to cross. Two years prior to Father Andrew Zamora's arrival to serve as colony chaplain, his predecessor disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Now, a Mautlaut runner has brought a message from Lord Banyon -- written in faultless English. Could Father Menlo, the man Father Andrew replaced, still be alive? If so, what does it mean for Drumwall?
