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.
Trouble's brewing at the whaler's co-op-- in space! Simple solid old school sci-fi, from before sci-fi got trippy and cool. People fight with fists and guns, light or put out fires, and argue about price fixing in a frontier town. In spaaaaaace. It's fun, I guess.
