by Harry Harrison (Author)
Deathworld 2 sends Jason dinAlt into another brutal survival crisis, where intelligence, nerve, and improvisation matter just as much as firepower. After surviving the deadly planet Pyrrus, Jason finds himself captured and transported to a strange world ruled by feudal power, superstition, slavery, and violence. The planet may not be as openly lethal as Pyrrus, but it is dangerous in a different way: human systems, not alien ecology, have made it deadly.
Harry Harrison gives the second Deathworld adventure his usual combination of speed, danger, satire, and anti-authoritarian bite. Jason is not a simple hero with a blaster; he is a gambler, strategist, and survivor who wins by reading systems faster than the people trapped inside them. In Deathworld 2, that means confronting a society built around domination, false belief, and power used to keep people obedient.
Fans of classic science fiction adventure, planetary survival stories, Harry Harrison, and vintage magazine SF will find Deathworld 2 a brisk continuation of one of Harrison's most entertaining series. It delivers action and invention, but also the sharp social intelligence that made Harrison more than a writer of space adventure: he understood that the most dangerous worlds are often the ones built by people.
