A Hugo-Nominated Planetary Survival Sci-Fi Thriller of Hostile Worlds and Parasitic Mind Control
Brion Brandd, ultimate champion of "The Twenties"—a brutal planetary competition testing physical, mental, and tactical endurance—is recruited for an emergency diplomatic mission to Dis. Dis is an ultra-hostile, sun-scorched planet whose aggressive inhabitants have threatened to unleash nuclear warheads against the peaceful neighboring world of Nyjord.
Arriving on Dis with limited time before Nyjord launches a preemptive strike, Brion braves lethal flora, fauna, and xenophobic native warriors. Investigating deeper, he discovers that the Disans' suicidal aggression is driven by a parasitic organism manipulating the population.
