Produktbeschreibung
A Planet for Texans is a satirical science fiction novel set on the distant planet of New Texas, where Earth sends Stephen Silk, a junior diplomat, on a seemingly routine assignment. New Texas, originally settled by Texans seeking freedom from Earth's bureaucracy, has developed a unique and rugged culture centered around individualism and personal justice. Silk arrives to find himself thrust into a web of intrigue and danger, as the planetary ambassador has been assassinated, and tensions with the alien race known as the Z'Srauff are escalating. With little knowledge of New Texas customs, Silk must navigate a world where duels are legal, and the law is enforced with a Wild West sensibility. As Silk tries to uncover the truth behind the ambassador's death and prevent an interstellar conflict, he must adapt to the planet's distinctive way of life and prove himself in a society that values courage and quick thinking. H. Beam Piper and John J. McGuire craft a humorous and action-packed narrative, exploring themes of governance, cultural differences, and the spirit of independence. A Planet for Texans offers a clever blend of political satire and adventure, making it a memorable tale of diplomacy on the frontier of space.
