Description: <p>Reminiscent of old whaling stories, <i>Four-Day Planet</i> follows the story of Walter Boyd, a scrappy 17-year-old reporter working for his father at the <i>Port Sandor Times</i>. Walt gets tied up in the adventures of the sea-monster hunters on Fenris—a barely-habitable planet with a 2,000-hour day. The prized—and only—commodity on Fenris is tallow-wax, a miraculous material harvested from the dangerous seas of the planet.</p>
			<p>While being set in a grand sci-fi universe, the book packs in more about intrigue, betrayal, and the grit required to survive on a backwater planet of the Federation. The book was later re-published as a “two-for-one” with <i>Lone Star Planet</i> (originally titled <i>A Planet for Texans</i>).</p>
