They become aware of a recurrence of the same problem. this time on the Martian moon Phobos. At the same time blackmail demands appear, from a group identifying itself as Robin's Rebels. Are the two connected? And if so, is this an old adversary, or a new one? The investigation will go from asteroidal Bryher, to Mars and its unusual moon Phobos. and finally back to the Scilly Isles for the culmination.
