Infinity Hold is the complete trilogy with an author's introduction: three full novels: Infinity Hold, Kill All The Lawyers, and Keep The Law. It is the story of Bando Nicos, a murderer condemned for eternity to a distant gravity well, Tartaros, a desert planet hidden within the Spider Nebula populated by incorrigible long-term convicts, terrorists, mental patients, political prisoners, and other "undesirables" from Earth and other planets. Those are the ones who survived. Tartaros is an interplanetary dump for Human refuse. Whatever law they have is the law they make to survive. In a world of cop haters, Bando Nicos becomes the first police officer in Hell.
