Why read it?
1 author picked Envoy to New Worlds as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Laumer’s satirical books about Jame Retief, a functionary in Corps Diplomatique Terrestrienne, were inspired by his real-life career in the U.S. Foreign Service. They don’t have to be read in any order and mix short stories (as in this collection) and novels. Much of the humor comes from Retief ignoring the diplomatic niceties in dealing with the problems involving Earth and various alien races.
From Daniel's list on humorous science fiction and fantasy.
