Preferred Risk

Preferred Risk is a science fiction novel by Frederik Pohl and Lester del Rey (under the name Edson McCann) first published in 1955.

Winner of the $6,500 Galaxy-Simon & Schuster novel contest, this taut suspense story asks the challenging question: how dangerous would it be to live in a rigidly risk-free world?

In a world where the Company controls just about everything, being an employee of the Company rising up the corporate ladder is a good place to be. And that's where Claims Adjuster Wills was when he saw the man jump under the train and sever his legs (for the fifth time, it turns out!). After that, his life changed completely, and the now-legless man played a big part in those changes.

Together with the mysterious daughter of anti-Company activist, they become involved in a race to determine the future of the world. The problem is, Wills cannot decide what side he's on.
