Cressida is a planet on the verge of inclusion in the Federated Core Worlds. To become part of FedCore space means prosperity, power and safety for those who rule.

Only one thing stands in the way of that inclusion: the warring, unruly gangs of Verona City.

In order to bring the Montague Maulers and the Capulet Crushers to heel, Commander Escalus of the Verona Security Police, must challenge their power through cunning and the threat of force. His task won't be easy. And it will be made even harder by the headstrong Rom Montague and Ty Capulet.

Gangs in the street. Sex and Violence. Star-crossed lovers.
