A sequel to No Time For Heroes (the 3rd in the series has not been published in English.)

To ex-private Bernhard, breaking rocks on a prison planet, every day felt like eternity. To the myriads of people, robots, and self-thinking servo-mechanisms aboard the twenty-thousand mile long spaceship Refanut - pride of a long-forgotten galactic empire - it was just another day. But things changed sharply when Bernhard escaped to the Refanut. For all the machinery on the fabulous starship had been accidentally programmed to adore Bernhard - and all its people would just as gladly cut his throat.
