  Will Barrent awakes without memories just before being deposited on Omega, a planet for criminals where the average life expectancy is 3 years. He’s listed as a murderer and released into the illicit society as a “peon” the lowest class imaginable. A mysterious girl gives him a weapon that starts him on his path to status, a path that requires constant brutality. But it must be borne if our hero is to discover the reason for his imprisonment; A reason that pits him against himself, and involves the sardonically similar but devoutly different creeds of Omega and Earth. - The Status Civilization was first published as “Omega!” in the August and September 1960 issues of Amazing Science Fiction Stories Magazine. (Summary by Gregg Margarite)

  When Fate's assassin Lance, the Necromancer, quits job his job when a ghost follows him home leaving actor Fate to do his job and his friend the Reaper king Blake to cover for him on the stage. 
  "The Necromancer was spooked apparently a ghost of a victim followed him home and terrorized his family, so he went on strike," said Blake. 
  "Terrorized his family, that's enough to make anyone break," said the Fox. 
  "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; 
  I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him." said Argent Lumiere who was playing Marc Antony in a production of Julius Caesar. 
  A man walked from the auditorium on stage dropping a pile of ears out of an old wooden bucket at Argent's feet. 
  "Mind I'm only lending them," said the Necromancer obviously amused. 
  "O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?" said Juliet In a production of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. 
  Romeo had just dematerialised she was sticking to the script. 
  "Where did he go?" asked audience member Angela Alexander. 
  "To do Lance's job I think," said her husband Blake. 
  "He complained he's being run off his feet doing the Necromancer's killing and paperwork. He has to run off at odd hours," 
  Blake materialised on the stage in the Romeo costume. 
  "I am Blake Fire will be filling in for Argent as Romeo, He is on pressing business which he deserves" Blake announced. 
  "Hi all, I'm Marcus Brutus," said Blake. 
  "I'm Julius Caesar," an actor said, "I'm on, bye, Brutus!" 
  "Kill you later," said Blake smiling.

  Anne McCaffrey captured the interest and hearts of many with Freedom's Landing as Catteni slaves unexpectedly became settlers establishing a new colony on Botany, presumably an uninhabited M-type planet. In Freedom's Choice the saga progresses to an extraordinary level. 
  The shipments of Catteni slaves continue, but they find that they are enjoyably reinventing the creature comforts of home, and searching for the origin of the Farmers who were the original occupants of Botany, all under the keen eyes of two very different observers. When scouts for the Emassi come to retrieve Zainal, shanghaied in the original shipment of slaves, Botany changes irrevocably. Listeners will delight in this continued adventure of survival, romance, and ingenuity.
