Without a doubt this is one of the poorer efforts i have read in a long time. I picked it up anticipating a pre Star Wars SciFi swashbuckler but was sorely disappointed. I do not expect any attention to character development in SF books of this vintage but the plot was so disjointed as to be incomprehensible. "Fortunately," the impossible situation is resolved by a surprise ending in the last ½ page.
A below average Laumer story that started well but became uninteresting. I like Laumer and was disappointed with this one. Like all good authors there occasionally is a book that just doesn't work well. I will still read everything he wrote or co-wrote.
