Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI voice. Reminiscent of old whaling stories, FourDay Planet follows the story of Walter Boyd, a scrappy 17yearold reporter working for his father at the Port Sandor Times. Walt gets tied up in the adventures of the seamonster hunters on Fenris-a barelyhabitable planet with a 2, 000hour day. The prized-and only-commodity on Fenris is tallowwax, a miraculous material harvested from the dangerous seas of the planet. While being set in a grand scifi 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 republished as a "twoforone" with Lone Star Planet (originally titled A Planet for Texans).
