Retief at Large (Jaime Retief Series #9)

About this book

The publication of certain accounts of Jame Retief under the title RETIEF AT LARGE has generated such response that we of Ace Books have felt compelled as a public service to publish a second volume of the affairs - some would call them adventures - of that redoubtable member of the Corps Diplomatique Terrestrienne. Surely in an age such as ours when Terras Sphere of Influence is once again surrounded by Alien Peril in all its sundry guises it is desirable - nay vital! - that our people be aware that contrary to the official records of the Corps it was not by the questionable efforts of such worthies as Ambassadors Nitworth and Spradley that Mankind held its own in the terrible arena between the stars but by the courage skill and daring of such men as Jame Retief! This collection has six Retief stories to tickle your funny-bone. Retief is in prime form taking on dangerous aliens and his own bosses in the Corps Diplomatique.Protocol Retief (1962) / short story by Keith Laumer (variant of The Yillian Way)Sealed Orders Retief (1962) / short story by Keith Laumer (variant of Retief of the Red-Tape Mountain)Aide Memoire Retief (1962) / short story by Keith LaumerPolicy Retief (1962) / novelette by Keith Laumer (variant of The Madman from Earth)Palace Revolution Retief (1961) / novelette by Keith Laumer (variant of Gamblers World)Retiefs Ransom Retief 6 (1971) / novel by Keith Laumer.
