Sobre este artículo
London, UK: Gollancz, 2002. Soft cover. Near Fine. Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Scout-officer John Leeming knew from the very start that his reconnaissance mission deep into enemy territory was likely to be a one-way trip. But when his ship finally let him down and he crashed on a far-distant planet and was captured by tough and ruthless aliens, he knew he wasn't just going to give up. Armed with a piece of wood, a coil of copper-like wire, his quick wits and an imaginary ally called Eustace, Leeming embarked on a brilliant campaign to gain his freedom - and coincidentally undermined the entire alien war effort. Next of Kin is the original full-length, novel version of one of Russell's more popular stories. Amusing, adventurous, fast-moving and razor sharp, the novel pokes glorious, good-natured fun at bone-headed and inflexible bureaucrats and institutions, and ranks alongside Russell's very best work.
Sinopsis
81, 82 new hostile worlds discovered: 83 - and then another five propulsors blew their linings simultaneously and Scout-Officer John Leeming knew he would have to make a crash landing. Soon he was a prisoner of the Zangastans - and filled with a determination to get back to Earth just as soon as possible. It took the failure of an orthodox escape attempt to make him realise that his alien life-form captors knew precious little of human nature. So unprompted corroboration from another Terran prisoner held by the Lathians, Zangasta's senior allies, that said Lathians had the Willies was good enough proof that Leeming's Eustace could be pretty dangerous. Does this baffle you? Read on!
