THE PREFECT
Book ID/图书代码： 10010007B14960
English Summary/英文概要： Tom Dreyfus is a Prefect, a policeman of sorts, and one of the best. His force is Panoply, and his beat is the multi-faceted utopian society of the Glitter Band, that vast swirl of space habitats orbiting the planet Yellowstone. These days, his job is his life. A murderous attack against a Glitter Band habitat is nasty, but it looks to be an open-and-shut case - until Dreyfus starts looking under some stones that some very powerful people would really rather stayed unturned. What he uncovers is far more serious than mere gruesome murder: a covert takeover bid by a shadowy figure, Aurora (who may once have been human but certainly isn’t now), who believes the people of the Glitter Band should no longer be in charge of their own destiny. Dreyfus discovers that to save something precious, you may have to destroy part of it.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Tom Dreyfus是一位完美的警員，還是最優秀的那一種。全副武裝的他，打擊的目標是理想國社會中亦正亦邪的Glitter Band社團。在那裡一條巨大的渦流位於黃石行星的軌道。這些天來，工作就是他的生命。對Glitter Band棲息地一次殘忍的攻擊是血腥的，但這次事件看起來卻是極其簡單 — 直到Dreyfus星球上的那些非常強大的人真的呆著不動了。他到底發現了什麼比謀殺更為嚴重的問題呢：一個模糊的人物秘密收買了這一切，Aurora(曾為人類，但現今無法確定)，相信Glitter Band的人們不再能掌控自己的命運。Dreyfus發現了遺留下的寶貴東西，你必須銷毀的一部分東西。(Sandy)
