A DELL SCIENCE FICTION SPECIAL

TREASON - That was the crime of their ancestors and the name of the planet on which they lived out their exile. In a world without resources, they had mutated into monsters to get a scrap of metal. Divided into warring clans, they could never build the spaceship that meant escape from their prison planet.

Until Lanik Mueller was forced to make the cross-planetary journey that sparked a vision. A vision of revolt. Among men with bizarre gifts and strange talents, he saw what they could do if they worked together. If men could work togetter on...

A PLANET CALLED TREASON

"Brimming with wonder-stimulating ideas and plot twists... likely to put its author - winner of the 1978 Campbell Award - in line for more honors."

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.

Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.

When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.

When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.

Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
