Another outing (A Wizard in Midgard, 1998, etc.)
for wizard Gar Pike (otherwise known as the psi-powered Magnus d'Armand), his new sidekick Alea, and their intelligent
spaceship Herkimer. Together they roam the galaxy, subverting and overthrowing corrupt or authoritarian governments. This time,
though, they find a planet whose government, far from being corrupt or oppressive, doesn't seem to exist at all—yet would-be
dictators get their comeuppance anyway. How? An agreeably terse addition to this light, gently satirical series.
