A secret agent, cosmetically disguised as a native, works undercover on the alien world of Estrella.

E. Everett Evans's 1955 novel sends telepathic Corpsman George Hanlon among the Estrellans in flawless disguise, the third of the author's 'Man of Many Minds' adventures. Solid, engaging psi-powered space opera about espionage across the species barrier. Read it for classic golden-age SF about a mind-reading spy walking unseen among aliens.

In its time

Published in 1955, during the 1950s, post-war optimism meets cold war anxiety.
