Vaughan Roberts and his two companions had been trapped on a crime-ridden, chaotic planet until they bamboozled the population with a gigantic hoax-which brought them to the attention of the Interstellar Patrol, who were looking for a few good con men, capable of ingenious improvisation and adept at playing dirty tricks on the bad guys. The new recruits acquitted themselves admirably, so they naturally were given more tough nuts to crack, including: - Flummoxing an alien empire which has taken a number of human prisoners as reconnaissance for an invasion. - Stopping a plan by not-so-good Samaritans who are pretending to cure a planetary plague-which they introduced to the planet-with a "miracle" drug which creates an addiction to the same drug... - Not only rescuing some Patrol personnel taken hostage by fanatics, but convincing other fanatics throughout the galaxy that the consequences of threatening anyone in the Patrol are too terrible even to think about... - Making sure that the rightful heir to a planet's throne escapes from captivity and overthrows the usurper. This time there's a complication: Roberts may be falling for the ruler's beautiful sister... - And much more… (plus d'informations)

I quite enjoyed this, but read the first one first. Don't have too high of expectations going into it, though ( )

It was easy to decide that the complete works of Christopher Anvil were a "must" for my collection. These were among my favorite stories in the 20-year run of ANALOG that my grandfather Zimmerman kept on his upstairs bookshelves. When I thought about it a bit more deeply, though, I realized that I never once talked with Granddaddy Z about our shared love of science fiction. He died in 1975, when I was 14, and I was scared of him! I wish I had a chance to talk about his ANALOG collection with him today.

For those who do not know, Anvil wrote great character-driven science fiction, where the character traits at issue were cleverness, resilience, and ingenuity. The message seems a bit dated, today, perhaps, but not so much ... there will always be a place for the MacGyvers of the world! ( )
