_THE WORLDS OF H. BEAM PIPER_

FOUR-DAY PLANET ... where the killing heat of a thousand-hour "day"
drives men underground, and the glorious hundred-hour sunset is
followed by a thousand-hour night so cold that only an Extreme
Environment Suit can preserve the life of anyone caught outside.

and

LONE STAR PLANET ... a planet-full of Texans--they firmly believe they
live on the biggest, strongest, best planet in the galaxy. They herd
cattle the size of boxcars for a living, and they defy the Solar
League to prove that New Texas has even the slightest need of the
"protection" that a bunch of diplomatic sissies can offer.

Four-Day Planet

Fenris isn't a hell planet, but it's nobody's bargain. With 2,000-hour
days and an 8,000-hour year, it alternates blazing heat with killing
cold. A planet like that tends to breed a special kind of person:
tough enough to stay alive and smart enough to make the best of it.
When that kind of person discovers he's being cheated of wealth he's
risked his life for, that kind of planet is ripe for revolution.

Lone Star Planet

New Texas: its citizens figure that name about says it all. The Solar
League ambassador to the Lone Star Planet has the unenviable task of
convincing New Texans that a s'Srauff attack is imminent, and
dangerous. Unfortunately it's common knowledge that the s'Srauff are
evolved from canine ancestors--and not a Texan alive is about to be
scared of a talking dog! But unless he can get them to act, and fast,
there won't be a Texan alive, scared or otherwise!
