Retief!

Publisher's Note: The stories and novel herein have previously appeared in parts in Envoy to New Worlds, Galactic Diplomat, and Retief's War. This is the first unitary edition.

"... into the chaotic Galactic political scene, the CDT emerged to carry forward the ancient diplomatic tradition ... Corps diplomats displayed an encyclopedic grasp of the nuances of Extra-Terrestrial mores as set against the labyrinthine socio-politico-economic Galactic context..."

— Official History of the Corps Diplomatique, AD 2940
