Description
Harry Harrison wrote Deathworld as a science-fiction novel of the toughest planet in the galaxy. Jason dinAlt, a gambler with a gun behind his pillow, meets Kerk Pyrrus, a grey-haired rock of a man with a gun strapped to his forearm, who never takes it off. Kerk wants Jason for Pyrrus, a world where every living thing seems bent on killing humans.
Jason, suspicious and quick on the draw, must learn why Pyrrus hates men, and whether the planet can be tamed. Harrison keeps the action fast and the ideas sharp. The novel opens a famous series about survival on a world at war with its settlers.
