About this listen

 Lanik Mueller is a "rad" - radical regenerative - a freak who can regenerate injured flesh...and trade extra body parts to the Offworld oppressors for iron. On a planet without hard metals, or the means of escape, iron offers the promise of freedom through the chance to build a spacecraft.

But it is a promise which may never be fulfilled, as Lanik uncovers a treacherous conspiracy beyond his imagination. Now charged with a mission of conquest - and exile - Lanik devises a bold and dangerous plan to finally break the vicious chain of rivalry and bloodshed that enslaves the people of the planet Treason.

This early piece by Orion is intriguing. I can see why he values it.
A hero’s journey, a philosophy and analysis of human behaviour, incorporating a love of earth/home and love.
So far all of the books of his I have read have a youthful hero.
It might not be for everyone but the book made me think and consider.

An intriguing analysis of humanity
