Love the Conroy stories
I love the Conroy stories, the characters in them are fun, they get into all sorts of situations, there are aliens, cute buffalitos, and are just fun to read. I was glad to see these stories filled in some of the backstory between the other stories in this universe that I have read. I definitely recommend this series and the other books set in this universe.

Well this book was a nice surprise.
A great change from normal SF novels I've been reading lately.
Very interesting to read about hypnotism which I assume is based on a lot of factual information.
I liked the aliens too.

A fun romp into a world where humans have already made contact with hundreds of galactic civilizations. Our intrepid adventurer and his faithful indestructible bovine make quite a team.
