Set on the hostile, tidally locked planet of Fenris, this classic science fiction novel follows a young journalist as he uncovers a dangerous conspiracy threatening the planet's fragile economy and governance. With a planet that experiences extreme temperature shifts and only four days in a year, the story explores themes of survival, corporate greed, and political intrigue, all while delivering action-packed adventure.
Fenris isn't a hell planet, but it's nobody's bargain. With 2,000-hour days and an 8,000-hour year, it alternates blazing heat with killing cold. A planet like that tends to breed a special kind of person: tough enough to stay alive and smart enough to make the best of it. When that kind of person discovers he's being cheated of wealth he's risked his life for, that kind of planet is ripe for revolution.
