About this book

You came off the ship that landed today, and have been classified a peon.... I'm happy to say that everything is in order. The Landing Day Hunt ends at sundown. You can leave here with the knowledge that everything is correct and that your rights have not been violated.""Leave here? After sundown, you mean."Mr. Frendlyer shook his head and smiled sadly. "I'm afraid not. According to the law you must leave here at once.""But they'll kill me!""That's very true. Unfortunately it can't be helped. A victim by definition is one who is to be killed.... We protect rights, not victims."Omega: Prison planetLife Expectancy: Three years maximumMost people are luckier than that....
