<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black">The juvenile science fiction book (or short story) begins with a guy being interviewed by a computer. He is sent to some sort of desert planet or desert world that is inhabited by
beings with leather skin. It is very hot there, but there is a fruit he can eat that helps him tolerate the heat and also makes him be able to go very fast.

<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif;color:black">I did a google search and was able to find somebody else on a science fiction forum searching for what I believe may be the same book. The clue I got from that was that the person
thinks the planet or world may be called something like Alpha. But I'm not sure if this is just a false lead or not. I'm wondering if the author possibly could be Robert Silverberg, and if the story may be Revolt on Alpha C, but I can't find enough of a description
to find out whether it matches the patron's description, and when he reads the description, it doesn't ring a bell with him.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
