F&B probably read Star King by Jack Vance (1964), a sci-fi novel which involves a planet in the Mizar system (a binary star in the handle of the Big Dipper) ...

It must a nasty place.

  • Gotta shout to stay alive;
  • No police;
  • Doesn't matter about your lurid past;
  • Pepe is dead; he had his throat cut;
  • But his boys will make your mug shot disappear;
  • Take a "yo-yo" (newcomer) for a ride? (to rip him off);
  • Turkish Union Dues = extortion;
  • Cafe D'Escargot (snails = slimy)
