Yes, although Howard killed five people in a rage fueled by drink, we still sympathize with the little fellow.  He winds up in a prison camp on an island off the coast of Antarctica. The inmates know he's a pushover and push they do. He's so cold and so unable to stand up for himself that he's grateful for a racist lunatic who decides to protect him.  Howard is assigned to dig at a mine with the other prisoners. Instead of the platinum that they were used to digging up, they find a spacecraft. Howard only thought he had troubles before the spacecraft was uncovered. He's the kind of guy who goes from the frying pan into the fire without even trying.It's not a long book, but it's a lot of fun.
