WAS IT A TRAP?
The colonists' ships sped toward the far star – they were free at last from the tyrannical government which had oppressed them from birth.
Then came the message from Earth – "Return at once – new government – guarantee your freedom – at home!"
Was this a reprieve from death – for the perilous ordeal of colonizing an unknown planet would cost many lives – or was it a trick?
There were only hours to decide – for it was almost too late to turn back...
In ORBIT UNLIMITED, Poul Anderson writes a stirring and fascinating adventure of tomorrow.
