Fast paced, intriguing with a twist

I so enjoyed reading this book because it moved along quite nicely but not so fast as to lose my attention. I expected it to end one way and it ended with a surprise. If you like happy endings and surprises then this book is for you.

Some great characters in this story, which is something that some sci-fi neglects. A nice, but quite light read.

Originally published in the December, 1962 issue of Analog Magazine. A nice Sci-fi story from the early sixties.

Not an amazing book, it was rather cliche, but it passed the time.
