The Survivors

Description
The spaceship Constellation, taking colonists to the world of Athena, is suddenly attacked and boarded by the Gerns—an alien race which has just declared war against humanity. The Gerns take the colonists to Ragnarok, a planet in a double-star system, which was previously surveyed as uninhabitable owing to its high gravity, extreme seasonal cycles, and threatening local fauna. The Gerns leave their hostages stranded, expecting them to succumb to the planet’s harsh conditions. The humans, meanwhile, seek to survive against all odds in the hopes of one day exacting revenge.
In 1957 Tom Godwin wrote the novelette “Too Soon to Die,” which he later expanded into a novel published in 1958 by Gnome Press as The Survivors. In 1960 it was reprinted by Pyramid Books under the title Space Prison.
