The Sioux Spaceman
Redskin raiders on the galactic rim.
Kade Whitehawk had two
strikes against him in the Space Service. First, he had bungled his
assignment on the planet Lodi. Second, he believed all creatures had a
right to freedom and dignity - and having such opinions was strictly
against the rules.
But when he ws assigned to Khot, he found the Ikkinni there - tortured yet defiant slaves of a vicious tyrant race.
Right
then Kade swung the last pitch. For rules or no rules, THE SIOUX
SPACEMAN knew that he had to help these strange creatures gain freedom... and that he alone, because of his Indian blood, had the key to win
it for them.
