He succeeds and survives the planetary government's desperate efforts to steal back the money. In a fit of ennui, he decides to accompany Kerk to his home, despite being warned that it is the deadliest world ever colonized by humans...DEATHWORLD!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Underlying sophistication of story line and premise. Old fashioned gender roles (every thing is about men! Kind of funny rather than offensive)
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Nice.. simple book with some minor twists in the story
