Planet of the Damned (Version 2)

On a frozen moon of Saturn, humanity's last hope arrives in the form of Brion Brandd: an athlete, not a soldier, sent to save a world that wants to die. Dis is a hellscape of toxic atmosphere and brutal cold, but its true horror wears a human face. The Magters were human once, centuries ago, before mutation warped them into something else entirely. Now they want only one thing: death. Yours. Theirs. Everyone's. Brion's mission was to rescue the planet's remaining human population, but the Magters have other plans, and the clock is ticking toward annihilation. What follows is breathless, no-holds-barred adventure as a man who has never fired a weapon must find a way to stop a species that has turned killing into religion. Harry Harrison was a master of propulsive sci-fi, and this is him at his finest: big concepts, faster pacing, and a hero who wins through sheer stubborn will rather than any special powers. If you want a space opera that moves like a freight train and never stops to apologize, this is your book.
