Extra long dedication

To
My brother Bill, who lent me Catseye;
MaryJo, who led me to Bradbury's Body Electric;
Laura Dene, who put Asimov's Foundation in my hands;
Dale and Maria, who made me read the
Chronicles of Narnia;
and the libraries in
Santa Clara, California, and Mesa, Arizona,
who made it possible for me to find
Poul Anderson's "Call Me Joe"
and Lloyd Biggle's "Tunesmith,"
Andre Norton's Galactic Derelict
and Robert Heinlein's Tunnel in the Sky:
You set me to dreaming.
I hope I don't wake up.

From audible.com:

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.

I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
