Detective Ray Babbitt

In this third volume of Lunar Stories, Detective Ray Babbitt is confronted with his own mortality as the social fabric of the Civitas lunar colony is being threatened by a rise in crime and competing political agendas. A new people's legislature attempts to chart a sustainable course for the colony. Unbridled corporate interests have established a new colony called Alegria to compete with Civitas for limited intellectual and investment resources. Through all of the turmoil, Detective Babbitt tries to remain focused on solving crimes while maintaining an equilibrium in his own life.
