<p>Lanik Mueller's birthright as heir to planet Treason's most powerful rulership will never be realized. He is a "rad" — radical regenerative. A freak among people who can regenerate injured flesh... and trade extra body parts to the Offworld oppressors for iron. For, on a planet without hard metals — or the means of escape — iron is power in the race to build a spacecraft.</p> <p>Iron is the promise of freedom — which may never be fulfilled as Lanik uncovers a treacherous conspiracy beyond his imagination.</p> <p>Now charged with a mission of conquest — and exile — Lanik devises a bold and dangerous plan... a quest that may finally break the vicious chain of rivalry and bloodshed that enslaves the people of Treason as the Offworld never could.</p> <p>For the first time in paperback, here is Card's classic masterpiece, A PlanetCalled Treason, totally revised. Treason is a planet torn by warring factionsand imprisoned by a superior alien race. But now, the seeds of revolution arebeing sown. Martin's. </p>
