description: Ten thousand city-state habitats orbit the planet Yellowstone forming a near-perfect democratic human paradise. But even utopia needs a police force. For the citizens of the Glitter Band that organization is Panoply and the prefects are its operatives.Prefect Tom Dreyfus has a new emergency on his hands. Across the habitats and their hundred million citizens people are dying suddenly and randomly victims of a bizarre and unprecedented malfunction of their neural implants. And these melters leave no clues behind as to the cause of their deaths...As panic rises in the populace a charismatic figure is sowing insurrection convincing a small but growing number of habitats to break away from the Glitter Band and form their own independent colonies.
