And Devious the Line of Duty

This book, containing four short stories and novellas from classic science fiction author Tom Godwin, has been illustrated with twelve brand new black-and-white illustrations. The vast expanse of space has been conquered mostly by humans on earth. But life over there isn't always as peaceful as earthlings would like it to be. Therefore, galaxies and planets need to be observed and monitored. When things go wrong, humans need to intervene, or else it can lead to the end of Earth's empire in space. Here are four stories from classic science fiction author Tom Godwin dealing with the challenges of deep space -- And Devious the Line of Duty; Cry from a Far Planet; The Helpful Hand of God; and The Nothing Equation.
