Four-Day Planet: Book Guide, Author and Facts
Four-Day Planet by H. Beam Piper — plot, author, genre and where to read, in one evergreen guide.

Fenris isn't a hell planet, but it's nobody's bargain. With 2,000-hour days and an 8,000-hour year, it alternates blazing heat with killing cold. A planet like that tends to breed a special kind of person: tough enough to stay alive and smart enough to make the best of it. When that kind of person discovers he's being cheated of wealth he's risked his life for, that kind of planet is ripe for revolution.
