Most of the back is devoted to positive reviews, but there is a brief blurb about Officer Alexanderson of the Kapteyn Platoon (not a platoon that has ever existed in reality) facing off against a serial killer stalking the Galaxy Railways. (Possibly a thing that has occurred before because the Galaxy Railways is a wild place.)]
