From the very beginning of his career, Robert Sheckley was recognized by fans, reviewers, and fellow authors as a master storyteller and the wittiest satirist working in the science fiction field. Rediscover - or discover for the first time - a master of science fiction who, according to the New York Times, was "a precursor to Douglas Adams".

All secret agents need to look out for William Nye, now known as Agent X. His recruitment was simple and his legend is brilliant but un-earned. Somehow, he thinks he's the best there is and we all know how pride goeth before a fall. The master of SF hilarity and biting social satire creates a spy world that has gathered praise from the greats of the genre.

The narrator was mostly fine, the accents all sounded the same, but his voice was flat for some of the longer descriptions. Story was ok, kinda predictable.

Ok story

A perfectly delightful and deliciously entertaining story. Escapist story telling at its best. Highly recommend.

Totally perfect entertainment

Illustrates how, in the spy business, the range of things that are either brilliant or insanely stupid, depending on the assumption of good or bad faith of other parties, is practically infinite. Hence, accountability is practically impossible.

The Law of Attraction

Wonderful narration, quirky novella. Chosen at random, no regrets! Here are six more words to finish the review geez.

Unexpectedly fun

Any additional comments?

Unlike the vast majority of Robert Sheckley's other works, this novel does not fall under the category of science fiction.

This book would better be classified as a spy novel with a sprinkling of humor (as is Sheckley's signature).

VERY different from the author's other works, but still very enjoyable.
If you are new to Sheckley, I highly recommend "The 10th Victim" or "The Status Civilization".
