I'm also convinced this planet is under quarantine, for fairly obvious reasons. Most of my own SF is built around that idea (mainly from the ETI's point of view - so it's probably a lot more serious than yours). I'm also with you on that little curiosity about snatching humans and putting them on various planets in the sector since 1947. I like that.
And I do like your main character - I may very well have to get to know him a little more...
Great fun! I enjoyed that.
