It's about the people of a colony on Mars attempting to become a self-sufficient community, as opposed to a number of industrial establishements - mines, etc. - surviving by trading with Earth. Their story is told mainly by following the daily routine of the colony's doctor, Tony Hellman, handling several minor medical problems (delivering a baby, etc.) as a legal crisis develops for the entire colony. A big pharmaceutical company has accused someone from the colony of stealing a large quantity of illegal drugs, and they'll be effectively quarantined and ultimately starved out if they don't turn over the missing dope. The political, criminal, and medical aspects are developed intrigueingly, and the drugs, the new baby's problems, and some mysterious happenings are all tied together at the end.
