Forced to survive outside the protection of the system, he travels to Mars, where the rules of Earth still reach across space-and where a deadly crisis may require exactly the skills he has been forbidden to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn Mars, Feldman finds a society caught between bureaucracy, fear, and disaster. A plague threatens the colony, official power moves too slowly, and the man treated as infamous may be the only one willing to act. Del Rey builds the story around a strong science-fiction premise: what happens when law, professional monopoly, and public health collide at the edge of human settlement. The result is an energetic mid-century adventure about exile, courage, medicine, reputation, and the cost of doing what must be done.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA compact and readable work from one of the important figures of American science fiction, \u003cem\u003eBadge of Infamy\u003c\/em\u003e offers the pleasures of Golden Age and post-Golden Age SF: Mars, plague, social engineering, medical ethics, action, and rebellion against a rigid future order.
