Description
Written by Harry Harrison & Ken Grobe. Art by Mike Gustovich & Rodney Dunn. Painted Cover by Steve Fastner & Rich Larson. Bill finds himself stranded on the Imperial planet Helior. All his attempts to have a good time turn out to be things that get him into more trouble than even he can imagine. The plan he finally hatches to get off of Helior in one piece lands him into even greater danger -- a suicide assignment against the alien enemy Chingers. But instead of giving up and killing himself, Bill becomes a true hero. Thanks to the Imperial regenerative body banks, he won't suffer a dismembered fate worse than death. Best of all, he manages to escape alive...but not in one piece
