Four-Day Planet by H. Beam Piper:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
Enjoyable novel by Piper; the most interesting main character is the planet Fenris. Days that last for 2,000 hours and four days per year; too hot or too cold. This book recalls some of Heinlein juveniles of the fifties. Select
