Forever We Die! (Restored Classics to Go Edition)

On the alien world of Kedak, Earth anthropology student Phil Rhodes is trapped in a nightmare of psychological torture, where cold, heat, sleep deprivation, and polite cruelty are designed to shatter his mind without killing him. His captors believe in reincarnation and fear nothing, making their interrogation chillingly calm even as they probe him about Earth history, Kedaki civilization, and the mysterious ruins outside the city. Beneath the questions lies a dangerous secret: Rhodes has found the ancient Balata'kai Book of the Dead and hidden it, a discovery that may threaten the foundations of Kedaki faith. When an earthquake turns the interrogation chamber into a deathtrap, Rhodes survives the collapse and fire only to awaken burned, disoriented, and without memory of who he is. Rescued by the compassionate Arcturan physician Dr. Quotis, he is taken to an alien hospital for radical treatment and skin regrowth, while authorities and the Secret Police begin hunting for the missing Earthman. As Rhodes—now calling himself Matlin—struggles with amnesia in the Hotel Deneb, he is drawn into a society ruled by class pride, violence, and the eerie certainty of rebirth, where a casual insult can erupt into a deadly duel.
