My Sins Remembered by Joe Haldeman check out website: www.orionbooks.co.uk
They tell the fate of undercover TBII agent Colonel Otto McGavin, working on behalf of the Confederación to sort out serious misdemeanours on various planets.
I have to confess in some places it appears that Haldeman gives in too easily to McGavin having the right pill or weapon hidden away in the hidden compartment of his suitcase a touch too much deux ex machina. The fact that some ground contacts already know he's around does tend to belie the secrecy somewhat. Saying that, his depth of reality where some of these planets are concerned is also equally riveting. His aliens from the book title story, the S'kang, have to be
one of the most intriguing enigmatic alien species I've read in a while. Like
with many of these books from this Gollancz collection, this book is a worthy
read and should encourage our new current generation to valuate its view on war
and espionage again in discussion. GF Willmetts
