This is actually by Harry Harrison, and is from the version published in Analog SF Magazine. It's the second of a series about Jason dinAlt, an interstellar gambler who finds himself involved with the people from the hell-planet Pyrrus. The first was _Deathworld_, also available on Munseys.
Harrison was born Henry Maxwell Dempsey, but didn't know it till he was an adult, and legally changed his name to Harry Harrison when he found out.
