From the Back Cover

Since the reign of Empress Stephanie Stanley, the sentence for treason had been exile to Gastonia, a snow-bound globe at space-end where survival was difficult--and escape impossible. But disturbing word had reached Imperial Intelligence. Someone was spiriting the best criminal "talent" in the galaxy off Gastonia. And that someone was feared to be connected with Operation Annihilate--the plan of the mysterious C and his ice-blooded underling Lady A to seize the Stanley throne and throw the Empire into chaos! The Empire's only hope? A quick and massive counterattack by Jules and Yvette and the avengers of the Family d'Alembert!

From the Inside Flap

PIRATE TARGET: EARTH! No galactic traitor had ever escaped from the permafrost prison planet Gastonia. And nothing could threaten the coronation of Empress Stanley 11--the most tightly secured event in the history of the Empire of Earth. Or so it was commonly believed--until thousands of pirate warships exploded into Earth's orbit the day of the ceremony. Operation Annihilate could only be stopped by some fast blaster-work from SOTE's top weapons for counterintelligence and pirate-catching: the superagents of the Family d'Alembert.
