1973 Envoy To New Worlds By Keith Laumer ACE Printing Vintage. Jame Retief, Vice-Consul and Third Secretary of the Terrestrial Diplomatic Corps, is little known among his contemporaries, even though he is perhaps the greatest diplomat ever produced by that figency. He is the man who must bear the brunt of the problems involved in developing the frontier worlds of the 29th Century. It is Retief who must face the warlike Vill, attempt to understand the elusive Jags, and thwart the hoodlum Bogans. It is Retief who must checkmate the mandibled Groacians, and subdue the gamblers of Petreac. Yet, in the end, his most dangerous enemy is his own species, Man, and his most dangerous battle is against the weak and corrupt among his superiors in the Diplomatic Corps itself. ...
