1982 Pocket Science Fiction Vintage Paperback edition of Retief: Diplomat at Arms by Keith Laumer 207 pages. Featuring the never-before –published novella The Secret.  Upholding interplanetary law is risky business... even for diplomat extraordinaire James Retief, who's off on more hair-raising, galactic adventures. Witness the invincible Retief outwitting the Qornt, a warring tribe, which is threatening invasion; the Soetti, infiltrators of Terrestrial space; the greedy and exalted Aga Kagas, squatters on tames and conquered land; and the evil Groaci, whose plans for domination threaten intergalactic peace. But whether it’s a little armed diplomacy, or all-out war, the trouble-making troubleshooter and occasionally undiplomatic diplomat is always prepared to save the planet Earth – and foil anyone who stands in his way!  In this book, Keith Laumer’s sharp‑tongued hero takes on the galaxy’s most tangled negotiations with wit, courage, and a knack for cutting through pomp and red tape. If you enjoy clever satire, bold escapades, and a hero who always finds a way to outsmart bureaucracy, this Retief tale will keep you grinning from start to finish.
