WAS IT A TRAP?

The colonists' ships sped toward the far star – they were free at last from the tyrannical government which had oppressed them from birth.

Then came the message from Earth – "Return at once – new government – guarantee your freedom – at home!"

In ORBIT UNLIMITED, Poul Anderson writes a stirring and fascinating adventure of tomorrow.
