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!

Superbt men ändock inte helt otippat slut, och en mycket intressant resa fram dit. Skildringarna av skådespeleriet är bra, politiska diskussionerna inte lika engagerande. Tack och lov tar de sistnämnda inte allt för stor plats, heller. Saker och ting löser sig lite för enkelt emellanåt, som med fingeravtrycken.

Läste den på svenska.
Första halvan var inte alls så bra men sedan tog det sig rejält mot slutet.
