Product Description
One minute, down and out actor Lorenzo Smythe was -- as usual -- in a bar, drinking away his troubles as he watched his career go down the tubes. Then a space pilot bought him a drink, and the next thing Smythe knew, he was shanghaied to Mars.
Suddenly he found himself agreeing to the most difficult role of his career: impersonating an important politician who had been kidnapped. Peace with the Martians was at stake -- failure to pull off the act could result in interplanetary war. And Smythe\'s own life was on the line -- for if he wasn\'t assassinated, there was always the possibility that he might be trapped in his new role forever!
Download Description
From the dark recesses of a moon-based hotel bar, unemployed actor Lorenzo Smythe is hired to impersonate John Bonforte, a politician who\'s been kidnapped in the middle of an election campaign. Peace with the Martians is at stake -- failure to pull off the act could result in interplanetary war. Lorenzo knows nothing of the issues concerning free interplanetary trade and equal rights for aliens--and cares even less, but the politico\'s top aide offers a handsome compensation, and assurance that the charade will last only until they find Mr. Bonforte.?
