Sharp satire, interstellar intrigue, and explosive action combine in this classic Retief adventure from Keith Laumer.
Jame Retief is no ordinary diplomat. Stationed among the labyrinthine corridors of galactic bureaucracy, he possesses a rare talent for cutting through red tape-and, when necessary, through hostile alien aggression. In Retief: Diplomat-at-Arms, negotiations quickly escalate into conflict, and only Retief's quick wit, tactical brilliance, and unorthodox methods stand between fragile peace and interstellar catastrophe.
Laumer's Retief stories are celebrated for their biting humor and pointed satire of diplomatic pomposity, all wrapped in fast-paced space opera adventure. This volume delivers both sharp commentary and thrilling action, making it a standout entry in one of classic science fiction's most entertaining series.
