|Human society had to rebuild itself after a war between [[Communist]] [[China]] and a [[Russia]], [[United Kingdom|British]] and [[America]]n alliance. As part of that rebuilding, mustered-out [[veteran]]s, returning to find their home cities in disorder, imposed an order of their own, leading to a society in which one has to earn the right to [[vote]] by serving the society by putting one's life at risk. A young man, a product of this society, joins a [[Marines]]-like space infantry to impress a female friend at his school, but makes a career of it and goes on to become an [[officer]] ndash; as his society must fight a major [[war]] against a species of [[spider]]-like social [[insect]]s. A stark contrast between total communism and a society where those who would take part in running the state, must first risk their lives for the sake of the state.
