A somewhat "hard SF" combination of "High Noon" and any number of recent movies of corporate greed and tough guys to assassinate the opponents. A novelization of the director's (Peter Hyams) screenplay of the 1981 movie. The novel follows the movie very closely except the novel is more descriptive in the details, especially in the science parts. Neither the movie nor the novel are poorly done; the movie is limited by the late 70s SFX; the novel by the re-hash of the well-known story line. Worth the read, however, once.
