Transcriber's Notes:

• Page 1, "futher" changed to "further." (He awoke, rubbed his eyes, and waited for further memories to come.)
• Page 9, "ot think" changed to "to think." (All he wanted to do was lie down, to sleep, to have a chance to think about his situation.)
• Page 14, "theif" changed to "thief." (I'm ashamed to admit that I can't remember what a credit thief is.)
• Page 36, "wtih" changed to "with." (She appeared to be dissatisfied with her husband; and divorce was forbidden on Omega.)
• Page 65, "murder" changed to "murderer." (Before his visit to the Dream Shop he had never felt himself a murderer, no matter what the Earth authorities had accused him of.)
• Page 107, "undected" changed to "undetected." (By noon, Barrent was still undetected.)
• Page 114, "were were" changed to "were." (If he were able to get by the city gate, he would have to watch for the hunting patrols.)
• Page 125, "Barren" changed to "Barrent." (Barrent ducked out of a corner in which the creeping vines were trapping him.)
• Page 151, "coud" changed to "could." (Barrent backed away, wondering if a needlebeam could stop it.)
• Page 159, Added a missing end-quote. (The full facilities of this park are waiting for all lovers of the great outdoors.")
• Page 159, "Presumbaly" changed to "Presumably." (Presumably they liked this sort of thing.)
