A high-gravity, low-oxygen planet where man was never meant to live. Nevertheless, Triumviratine Earth had chosen Morgan's World as a strategic location for a military outpost, and StarForce was assigned the task of taming this distant world. Yet for each moment of progress on a hostile planet a price must be paid, and Forcer Will Tollens had been part of that price. Now his nephew, Lawrence, had come to Morgan's World to claim vengeance on whatever had left his uncle a useless, empty husk of a man. But what Lawrence Tollens didn't know was that Morgan's World had been waiting for him, waiting with a special purpose that could change his destiny and the future of mankind ...
Interesting view of life on an alien planet, isolated from Earth during a time of war. What I liked about the book were the interactions between human miners struggling to survive and a mysterious group of native aliens known as "helps" who helped in the mining effort in exchange for trinkets. Life on the planet was hard, and that, to me was the most interesting part of the book. The author made me feel as if I was there. The story of the aliens was left unfinished, and I want to read a sequel.
