FOUR-DAY PLANET

BY H. BEAM PIPER

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 - someone who can tolerate a life underground, or underwater, where he can earn enough to make it all worthwhile. 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.

Included in this special edition:
• The short story TIME AND TIME AGAIN, published in 1947. Piper's first published story is superficially a young adult (or "juvenile") but is actually more complicated than that.
• FOUR-DAY PLANET in the Terro-Human Future History - an essay exploring the place of the novel in the future history timeline of H. Beam Piper's Federation and Empire stories.
• H. Beam Piper Biography
