After the verdict on his court-martial comes down, Commander Abel Grant reflects on his twenty years of space duty; fighting battles with planets beyond Pluto, blasting Venusians who've taken Earthlings hostage, and dumping the Grand Admiral of the Fleet's corpse into space after he dies from an alien virus so as not to contaminate Earth when the crew returns. The latter incident is what got him court-martialed. When the trial is over, he discovers there are men within the government who appreciate his no-nonsense approach and elevate him to new Grand Admiral!
