Outland

In orbit out from Jupiter in view of its malignant red eye is OUTLAND.

Here on Io—moon of Jupiter, hell in space—men mine ore to satisfy the needs of Earth. They are hard men, loners for whom the Company provides the necessities: beds, food, drink, and women for hire. Now, in apparent suicide or in frenzied madness, the men are dying...

To OUTLAND comes the new U.S. Marshall O'Neil, a man with a sense of duty so strong it drives him to ferret out evil, greed and murder regardless of the cost. If he must, he will forfeit love, livelihood—even life itself.
