The Status Civilization appeared, under the title Omega, in Amazing Science Fiction Stories
Synopsis: "Will Barrent had no memory of his crime ... but he found himself shipped across space to a brutal prison-planet. On Omega, his only chance to advance himself -- and stay alive -- is to commit an endless series of violent crimes. The average inmate's life expectancy from time of arrival is three years. Can Barrett survive, escape, and return to Earth to clear his name?"
- From the cover of the 2007 Wildside paperback edition.
