"Kade Whithawk's pride, and his hatred of the alien Styor, with whom Terra had an important trade pact, led to his disgrace at his first post as a Trader for the Space Service. Yet his second job found him on the planet Klor, where the primitive but defiant Ikkinni were ruthlessly enslaved by their cruel Styor masters. Whitehawk was a Trader; he was supposed to ignore local affairs and do nothing to upset the profitable trade with the Styor. But he was also a Lakota Sioux. Gradually, but irresistibly, he found himself being drawn into the almost foredoomed battle for Ikkinni freedom - a bloody battle that could make him a renegade to his own people, and destroy the race he was trying to save."
