A Heinlein Classic Space Opera of Interplanetary Rebellion, Venusian Dragons, and Freedom

Born in a space vessel between worlds, teenager Don Harvey is attending school on Earth when war erupts between Earth's authoritarian Federation and colonial insurgents on Venus. Detained on a transit space station and stripped of his citizenship, Don escapes to Venus carrying a mysterious ring entrusted to him by an old scientist.

Arriving on the cloud-shrouded jungle planet, Don joins the Venusian colonial rebels fighting for independence. Partnering with a intelligent native Venusian "dragon" named Sir Isaac Newton, Don discovers that his ring holds secret scientific equations for a revolutionary technological weapon that could win the war.
