About This Book

A supply ship discovers a remote penal colony where miners endure a sadistic overseer who rules by constant surveillance and arbitrary torture, provoking fierce hatred among Earthmen and Martians. The story frames a found manuscript in which a prisoner recounts daily toil, humiliating punishments, and the growing obsession with revenge that leads to a deliberate act of defiance and a violent confrontation. The narrative follows the escalation from simmering resentment to open reprisal and considers the moral and physical costs borne by both captors and captives on the barren satellite.
