Crushing gravity, thin air, freezing winter, searing summer under two suns. A deadly wasteland teems with monsters and fatal fever. A thousand untrained Earth men, women and children are brutally marooned on the planet Ragnarok by a sadistic enemy. That night, 200 die. In the morning, survivors decide what they will live for - revenge. The Survivors aka Space Prison. Included in Cold Equations.

In three bloody years, Ragnarok survivors ended the Gern Empire and freed Earth and the Athena colony. But Earthers fear and hate the great strength and speed bred over generations under heavy gravity that won the victory. Now a new threat strikes Ragnarok and the rest of mankind refuses to help.
