This is a reread of one of my favorite books from my teens (never mind how old I am). If a wasp can fly into a car and cause that car to crash, killing all occupants, then a highly trained, well equipped agent can be placed on a planet, behind enemy lines and cause all kinds of problems for said enemy. I enjoyed reading this book again and recommend it highly. Live Long ( )

Excellent thriller centered on the covert operative sent on a hostile planet in order to ensure enemy forces are tied up in chasing ghosts instead of preparing for the actual invasion.

I especially like the end, reminds me a lot of what happens to the bearer of armor in the novel [b:Armor|102327|Armor|John Steakley|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1337817762s/102327.jpg|604650] man ends up as victim of his own success and just gets sent over and over to more and more crazy missions - very much like in [b: Catch 22|168668|Catch-22 (Catch-22, #1)|Joseph Heller|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1463157317s/168668.jpg|814330]. As you can see most books written by people who lived through war bear more or less the same message .

Highly recommended to all fans of good thriller and spy story (plus it is in SF settings :) ). ( )

A veces las guerras no se ganan con divisiones acorazadas enjambres de bombarderos, o una gran flota marítima. A veces un solo hombre puede hacer mas que todo un ejercito para confundir, desmoralizar y vencer al mas poderoso enemigo. A veces basta con crear una autentica psicosis para llevar al contrario a la desesperación…y a la derrota. Este es el trabajo de una avispa. Al igual que el pequeño himenoptero que puede provocar el mas mortal accidente automovilístico simplemente zumbando en torno al rostro de su conductor, un solo hombre, con los medios y los talentos adecuados, puede derrotar a todo un planeta. este libro explica como.

This is an amusing little story about a man in Earth's military service who serves as a"wasp" to irritate the heck out of Earth's enemies, the Sirians. ( )

A good few hours of modest adventure as the hero does his best to irritate the enemy into giving up the battle. ( )
