Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

THE SECOND DEATHWORLD NOVEL
That mores is strictly a matter of local custom cannot be
denied. But that ethics is pure opinion also. . . ? Maybe there are
times for murder, and theft and slavery. . . .
Some planet in the galaxy must -- by definition -- be the
toughest, meanest, nastiest of all. If Pyrrus wasn't it . . . it
was an awfully good approximation!

decides to accompany Kerk to his home, despite being warned that it
is the deadliest world ever colonized by humans...DEATHWORLD

Students entering college may think they know just about
everything, but x2026;
Whether it's their first year or fourth, college students (who
think they already know everything) can always use powerful and
proven tips on how to make the most of their experience. In 1001
Things Every College Student Needs to Know, Harry H. Harrison Jr.'s
latest dose of trademark wit and wisdom provides practical advice
ranging from class enrollment, living on campus, study habits and
more, that every student-and parent-will benefit from...like buying
their books before exams start!
'Revelatory. Harry Harrison's novel about Earth on the edge of
disaster is both bracing and cathartic ... impressively prescient'
Guardian The planet's population has exploded and resources are
stretched to breaking point. And, in a sweltering, overcrowded New
York City of 35 million desperate inhabitants, a police detective
must try to solve a murder. The basis of the cult film Soylent
Green, this eerily prophetic novel is a nightmarish vision of a
world in meltdown. 'A cautionary tale of what might happen if
American consumption goes unchecked' Los Angeles Times 'An author
with a serious purpose and a subversive wit' Christopher Priest
