Neodymium Pyrrus and Kerk 1

Neodymium, the rare metal on the planet with the same name, is sought after. Not only on Earth but also by the cruel pirates who cross the universe in their merciless pursuit of prey. In addition they have found out the well-kept secret of the space colony. The small colony on Neodymium is attacked and the survivors escape into the wilderness and further into the jungle. One of them hides on the dark side of the planet, where he gets help in an unexpected way. Thus starts a ruthless battle over the dominion of the planet.
This is the first novel about the space adventurers Pyrrus and Kerk, whose motto is: 'It will get better.'

'It was a dwarf planet in the middle of the Andromeda Galaxy. Neodymium. An insignificant planet if it had not been for the riches. Neodymium was only one of many similar celestial bodies in the broad belt of habitable planets.'

'A tribute to Harry Harrison and his Stainless Steel Rat.'
