Synopsis
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!

Soft cover. Condition: 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.
