Jim was left in the guardianship of the League Navy, this story starts with him escaping from his prison cell for the Little league bottom on Steren-Gwandra, where he is awaiting deportation back again to his home world. He has found that Bibs, a staff young lady from Captain Garth’s ship, is also a prisoner. Jim holds Garth responsible for the Bishop’s death, and programs to hunt him down, with Bibs’ help. Garth is actually the crazed Captain Zennor, head of an military which continually defies Group peace treaties, and now plans to invade and overcome the planet Chojecki. The folks of Chojecki are pacifists, having no armies no law enforcement. But Garth’s generals opt to strike anyway, since there are no medals for “generals who bring back the troops intact”. Jim must save the folks of Chojecki before he can face Garth.
