The Dogtown Tourist Agency
Gentleman detective Miro Hetzel takes on a case for an industrialist client, taking him to the dangerous planet Maz—whose natives are so fierce they'll fight three battles before lunch, then dine on the enemy!
In the afternoon I started in The Dogtown Tourist Agency by Jack Vance. I had downloaded the ebook with a great cover by Jared Pullen. I read the book a long time ago, in a Dutch translation, so it was about time for a reread.
