Summary
Revolt was flaring on Callisto, and Peter Duane held the secret that would make the uprising a success or failure. Yet he could make no move, could favor no side?his memory was gone?he didn't know for whom he fought.

Duane's hand flicked to his waist and hung there, poised. His dis-gun remained undrawn.
The tall, white-haired man?Stevens?smiled.
"You're right, Duane," he said. "I could blast you, too. Nobody would win that way, so let's leave the guns where they are."
