Book description
Convicted of a crime he did not commit, Jonathan Renn is sentenced to
life in the Swamp, a prison planet death row in a distant galaxy. Renn
only has two choices, escape the Swamp or die in the process. Defending
himself from attacks by deadly, native monsters and his fellow convicts,
Renn is obsessed with escaping the planet and getting his revenge on the
people who set him up. Marla Marie Mendez is even more down on her luck.
Trapped inside a cybernetic dog and dropped defenseless into the Swamp,
Marla can only rely on Renn and her claws to save her from the
unfriendly elements. They must find a way out of the Swamp and quickly
before their life sentence is cut short. William C. Dietz is the
author of more than thirty science fiction novels. He grew up in the
Seattle area, spent time with the Navy and Marine Corps as a medic,
graduated from the University of Washington, lived in Africa for half a
year, and traveled to six continents. Dietz has been variously employed
as a surgical technician, college instructor, news writer, television
producer and currently serves as Director of Public Relations and
Marketing for an international telephone company. He and his wife live
in the Seattle area where they enjoy traveling, boating, snorkeling,
and, not too surprisingly, reading books.
