Publisher’s Blurb – Page One
For Lawrence Smith (The Great Lorenzo) this was the greatest acting assignment of his erratic career. However, this was one with no credits or star billing, for he was called upon to impersonate one of the great leaders of the galaxy... with the fate of millions at stake.

Robert Heinlein, one of the most brilliant of present-day science fiction writers, here presents an exciting story of space intrigue, with memorable characters and fast-moving action.
