Summary "Slave Planet" by Laurence Janifer is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story unfolds on Fruyling's World, where slavery, apparently outlawed throughout the Terran Confederation, still thrives through the exploitation of the planet's reptilian natives, known as Alberts. Central to the narrative are characters like Dr. Haenlingen and John Dodd, who grapple with the ethics and implications of their roles as masters in this oppressive system. The opening of the novel establishes a tense atmosphere, revealing that despite the Confederation's ideals of freedom and justice, a dark truth lies beneath the surface on Fruyling's World where the natives are subjected to slavery for the sake of valuable metals. Dr. Haenlingen, a figure of authority in the Psychological Division, expresses frustration over the public's ignorance regarding their secretive project involving the natives, hinting at an impending crisis due to rumors spreading across the Confederation. As the narrative progresses, John Dodd, questioning his position and the morality of his work, interacts with both his fellow masters and the oppressed Alberts, setting the stage for potential conflicts and dilemmas regarding freedom, justice, and the nature of existence in this foreign world.
