The Deathworld Trilogy is a compilation in one volume of Deathworld, Deathworld 2, and Deathworld 3 by Harry Harrison. It's great fun, and I can recommend it if you like science fiction of the alien planet adventure sort.
from the back of the book:
THE DEADLIEST PLANET IN THE UNIVERSE
Five minutes in a meadow on Pyrrus is like a century of global war on other worlds, for Pyrrus is a Killer World -a planet where all life, plant and animal, has evolved into lethal terrors, where all humanity lives barricaded in one fortress city.
Jason dinAlt is a gambler, about to start the most dangerous game of his life. Where but Pyrrus would he go?

I haven't read these, I did read his Stainless Steel Rat, it was more adventure and not as thought provoking.
ReplyDeleteThe Stainless Steel Rat series is a riot, isn't it! The man had a good touch.

ReplyDeleteNo zombies, nary a one.

DeleteOh, my goodness, and a Trilogy, too.

There's nothing like a trilogy to keep me busy during these days ;)
DeleteI think I remember these from years ago. Can't remember too much about them, though.
ReplyDeleteI forget things -books and movies- and then remember them only after I've gotten into them again lol
