About this book

On the frontier world of Fenris, where a single day and a single night can each stretch for hundreds of hours, life is brutal and the colonists scrape a living hunting sea monsters for the valuable wax in their bodies. Teenage reporter Walt Boyd, son of the local newspaper editor, finds himself in the middle of a struggle between the hunters and the crooked company men who cheat them. What begins as a boy's account of his hard planet turns into a tense fight for a fair deal and, before long, for survival. H. Beam Piper delivers the kind of clear, fast, ideas-driven adventure that made his juvenile science fiction a favorite. Published in 1961, it stands well on its own. Free PDF and EPUB edition available here.
