(4,552 Sterne; 105 Bewertungen)
Science Fiction at it humorous best written in the golden age of all the greats and published in Astounding Science Fiction December 1958. Piper can't be matched for sardonic comment on human nature. The Empire is stagnant; thousands of planets spread around Earth but nothing new is allowed to happen and disturb the static situation. Our emperor Paul knows this but is powerless to make a dent in the centuries old hide bound bureaucracy of intergalactic politics. But is there a plot to overthrow him? It certainly looks like it. Follow this story closely as it builds to an excellent and exciting climax. Piper's talent and creativity shine through in this story. (1 hr 56 min)

Making ruefully fun of all things political, parties. committee's or most anything to do with leadership. Puts these things in our daily lives, mostly we/I really think & believe politicians are all idiotic in it for their own good. A good days ha, he's on a system so ridiculously silly yet believable.

An excellent "Golden Age" story with all the humour and insights of the human condition we've come to expect from H.Beam Piper. And of course, read with the usual gusto and professionalism by Mr. Chenevert makes this a must listen!
