Publisher's Synopsis
- Condemned for a crime he didn't commit, Scott Landus is sentenced to life without parole on Colony, a galactic "Devil's Island" where the fascist Galactic Confederacy disposes of its human and alien refuse. Colony is a science-fiction allegory to the founding of Australia, as hardened career convicts, alien species, and political dissidents from Earth band together to overthrow their technologically-superior captors.
