The Cold Equations & Other Stories

One of the truly unusual novels of science-fiction -- a vivid portrayal of the deadliest planet ever discovered DOOMED Crushing gravity--thin air--winters of unimaginable cold--searing summers under two suns--a deadly wasteland teeming with monsters and killing fever-- That was Ragnarok, the most dreaded planet yet discovered. And Ragnarok was where a thousand untrained Earthmen--and women and children--were brutally marooned by a sadistic enemy. Two hundred died the first night. In the morning, the survivors knew what they must live for--revenge AFTER TWO CENTURIES.... The sound came swiftly nearer, rising in pitch and swelling in volume. Then it broke through the clouds, tall and black and beautifully deadly--the Gern battle cruiser, come to seek them out and destroy them. Humbolt dropped inside the stockade, exulting. For two hundred years his people had been waiting for the chance to fight the mighty Gern Empire ... ... with bows and arrows against blasters and bombs

The novel is an expansion of Godwin's story "Too Soon to Die" which first appeared in the magazine Venture. A ship heading from Earth to Athena, a planet 500 light years away, is suddenly attacked by the Gerns, an alien empire in its expansion phase. People aboard are divided by the invaders into Acceptables and Rejects. The Acceptables would become slave labor for the Gerns on Athena, and the Rejects are forced ashore on the nearest 'Earth-like' planet, called Ragnarok. The Gerns say they will return for the Rejects, but the Rejects quickly realise that that isn't going to happen...
