A dark and often hilarious science fiction novel drawn from a vein
adjacent to Heinlein and Vonnegut, Katorga harshly reflects a
reality reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy's best fiction. Doug Bradley
is an entirely average veterinarian hanging his shingle in the
suburbs of the near future when he and thousands of other innocents
are torn from their homes, branded as terrorists, and thrown
through a doorway onto a barren and frozen world called Ceti Prime.
The Warden of the colony issues simple orders to the prisoners at
gunpoint: find a way to survive, or don't. Brimming with the
maniacal humor of the hopelessly damned, Katorga sees Doug and his
quite mad friends face the perils of an alien wasteland, the
dangers of bored and sociopathic guards and the delicacies of
purple cactus. Along the way, secrets of this new world lead Doug
to the chance for both freedom and redemption.
