Galactic Diplomat
Laumer Keith
Retief is an officer of
the distinguished Corps Diplomatique Terrestrienne, a supra-national
organization devoted to keeping the peace - or more accurately, to
maintaining a state of tension short of armed conflict.
Retief is not
exactly in the mainstream of current Galactic diplomacy, as expounded
by such giants of the C.D.T. as Crodfoller, Hidebinder, Straphanger, and
his own immediate superior, Magnan. Deviously sincere, uncompromisingly
venal, fearlessly cowardly, these great, dedicated public servants will
seem curiously familiar as they strive to keep the peace seven hundred
years in the future.
But when Retief's on the scene things have a way of coming right in the end...
