I'm wondering if you mean A Mission of Gravity instead of Heavy Planet? If I remember correctly, AMOG is the actual novel, while HP is a collection of short stories set in the same milieu.

Incidentally, I kind of consider AMOG to be the grandfather of "extreme environment" novels like some of Robert Forward's work etc.
