RE: [GZG]Shiftingplanets [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

I can't search out the specific story (at work), but the problems with
this
one is quite well addressed in www.schlockmercenary.com

Flying one gas giant into another makes a mess of entire star systems...

The story starts around 09Jan03 and is in the print version of the book
and
is subtitled "Under New Management". Part III of the story is the
relevant
one from memory.
