 What was expressed as the time limit on Moynihan’s work?
The revolution is scheduled to break during the Festival of the Rains. Jaro Moynahan wiped the sweat from his forehead with a fine duraweb handkerchief. Peet controlled the Latonka trade for which there was a tremendous demand throughout the Universe. By stretching out his arms he could touch the buildings on either side: buildings with walls four feet thick to keep out the heat of the sun. He had fought in the deadly little wars of the Moons of Jupiter for years, then the Universal Debacle of 3368, after that the Martian Revolution as well as dozens of skirmishes between the Federated Venusian States. Unless Karfial Hodes is stopped immediately there will be a bloody uprising all over the planet during the Festival of the Rains. Other Earthmen are in control of the mines and the northern plantations.

 Before Karfial Hodes’ capture  Before the Earth Congress votes on Mercurian independence  Before the The Festival of the Rains  Before Moynihan’s return to Mars
