Plot summary

Commander John Lane returns from a ten-year mission in space

to find that the teenagers of Spaceport City have organized

themselves into "outfits", well disciplined, non-violent little gangs with their own customs and argot, and that the parent's

role in teen upbringing has become minimal. His 16-year-old

daughter Susan belongs to the Red Cat Outfit, whose newest member

Bud is actually a spy for the alien fleet that has secretly followed John Lane as he returned to Earth.
