Treason is Card's classic masterpiece, A Planet Called Treason, totally revised. Treason is a planet torn by warring factions and imprisoned by a superior human race. But now, the seeds of revolution are being sown.
Lanik Mueller's birthright as heir to planet Treason's most powerful rulership will never be realized. He is a ''rad''--radical regenerative--a freak who can regenerate injured flesh and trade extra body parts to the Offworld oppressors for iron. On a planet without hard metals, or the means of escape, iron offers the promise of freedom through the chance to build a spacecraft. But it is a promise which may never be fulfilled, as Lanik uncovers a treacherous conspiracy beyond his imagination. Now charged with a mission of conquest--and exile--Lanik devises a bold and dangerous plan to break the vicious chain of rivalry and bloodshed that enslaves the people of Treason.
