Planet of Sand by Murray Leinster

False charges led to Stan Huckley's imprisonment aboard the spaceship Stallifer. When he gets his chance to escape, clear his name, and win the love of the woman he adores—and kill Rob Torren, who put him in prison—it's a gamble he's willing to take. But before justice can be served, he has to survive the wilds of space . . . and the hazards of the PLANET OF SAND! This special edition adds a lengthy bibliographic Introduction and a Selected Bibliography.
