Planet 51

Centuries ago the British sent their convicts to the other side of the planet, in 2144 the Americans are sending theirs to a different galaxy. Nioranta or Planet 51 as it is coded in the Pegasus Dwarf Galaxy has a number of unique resources that earth men can exploit, but these come with their own dangers and the planet still holds many hidden hostilities to the parasites that have placed themselves upon it. Five convicts from different corners of life find themselves thrown onto 51 with nothing but the clothes on their backs and the orders to mine the unsettling alien elements that soon creep under their skins and corrupt more than their minds. Time was all they had; now it's different. Nobody knows the whole story; especially those who think they are writing it. Some are willing the wage wars; but there is something under the ground, in the air . . . the planet is alive and it knows how to survive. Perhaps there was a reason it was so difficult to find.
