Croft faces his toughest assignment infiltrating a society where nearly everyone and everything is watched, monitored, and controlled by the state. Policemen tap resistors with long black rods that zap their minds and give them blank smiles.
OK, this is what I believe is the first of the Clifford Croft novels, and he hits a home run at first bat. This is a truly fun read with lots of whitty dialogue and fast moving action that is typical of Steven Gordon's writing. The story just keeps moving and if you can't like Croft, there's just something wrong with you.
