A Paperback Original. Science Fiction Adventure with a Generous Dash
of Humor by the Co-Author of the Best-Selling The Planet Pirates.
P. G. Wodehouse meets space opera, as Ensign Thomas Innes Loche Kinago,
fresh from the Academy is given his first command. A crumb from the
upper crust, he's eager to uphold the traditions of his family, and in
particular, his mother, a distinguished Admiral of the Imperium. Of
course, he's aware of the importance of always having simply smashing
tailored uniforms on hand, and having his camera ready to record
memorable moments for his scrapbook. In the meantime, a charismatic
leader has arisen who seems able to control the minds of anyone he
meets, and may be on his way to taking over the entire galaxy. Can
Kinago's aristocratic bearing and unbridled snobbery stand up to such a
challenge? Fortunately, his constant companion, the unflappable Jeeves,
er, Parsons, is on hand to look after the young, impulsive master, and
somehow help his charge bumble his way through, perhaps even saving the
galaxy in the process.

thoroughly recommend." --Anne McCaffrey

spend time with." --David Drake
