Tom Dreyfus is a Prefect a policeman of sorts & one of the best. His force is Panoply & his beat is the multi-faceted utopian society of the Glitter Band that vast swirl of space habitats orbiting the planet Yellowstone. These days his job is his life.

Dreyfus discovers that to save something precious you may have to destroy part of it.

Long out of print this book was written to reassure the many nineteenth-century people who were apparently worried (to death?) about being buried alive. Indeed one of the authors himself had a narrow escape as his collaborator writes: ' Dr. Vollum first became interested in the important question of Premature Burial in consequence of his own very narrow escape from live sepulture having been pronounced dead from drowning & prepared for interment when consciousness happily returned spontaneously.'
