A collection of science fiction stories written by acclaimed author Keith Laumer. Four of his shorter works received Hugo or Nebula Award nominations.
Laumer is best known for sci-fi adventure pulp stories in which larger-than-life characters succeed gleefully or fail heroically. This volume includes two rare "Jame Retief" stories.
Included in this volume:
Story One: Gambler's World - Detailing the adventures of Jame Retief, a cynical spacefaring diplomat who constantly has to overcome the red-tape-infused failures of people with names like Ambassador Grossblunder.
Story Two: Greylorn - A tight, taut story of interplanetary adventure featuring a commander in a mutiny-plus-contact situation. A Military Sci-Fi classic!
Story Three: It Could Be Anything - An original, exciting and thought-provoking exploration of the 'meaning' of meaning.
Story Four: The Yillian Way - More adventures of Jame Retief, a cynical spacefaring diplomat. The ceremonious protocol of the Yills was impressive, colorful -- and, in the long run, deadly!
These are the original and unabridged versions of these classic science fiction treasures. A must-have for fans of classic sci-fi!
Genre: Science Fiction
