The Railas Project

Railas finds himself powered up on a world distant from Earth. He has an unusual job. Railas is to be the official justice of Shangri-La, a human colony on Titan, one of the moons of Saturn. But his first case turns up more than his employers anticipate. A rogue outsider accused of stealing a methane substation appears to be trafficking in more than just methane and illegal gambling. The trail of evidence leads Railas beyond the walls of the colony and into the methane lakes of Titan in search of a missing woman that nobody on the station seems to remember. His quest reveals an unexpected secret, hidden from his programming. But why?
