Exiles of the Three Red Moons

Rusty Carter is a man who got a raw deal. Wrongfully convicted of a crime he didn't commit, he's been exiled to the furthest reaches of the solar system: a brutal penal colony on Pluto, that distant frozen world where the sun is just another star and hope feels like a rumor. But Rusty isn't the type to accept his fate quietly. As he navigates the harsh conditions of this alien gulag, discovers the strange secrets of Pluto's three red moons, and forges unlikely alliances, he begins to plot something far more dangerous than survival. He wants justice. This is early pulp adventure at its finest - a story about how far a man will go to reclaim his dignity when everything has been taken from him. The prose has that wonderful vintage SF quality: earnest, adventurous, unapologetically romantic about human perseverance. It's a tale that understands exile isn't just about geography - it's about being stripped of everything that makes you who you are, and having to build yourself back up from nothing.
