Empire of Two Worlds

Outcast Klein was one of the 'tankless' ones of the enclosed and self-sustained city of Klittmann. The inhabitants of that city survived by nutrient tanks, which came along from Earth when the settlers first landed on the dim, arid world of Killibol. Klein was bitter, and made plans ot steal a tank for himself--and anything else he could lay hands on. It was when he allied himself with an arrogant, vicious tyrant that he had second thoughts about the universe-strangling career he had launched himself upon.
