Synopsis
ON THE ZOOP TOWER
It was a rigged gambling game, but Retief had to play it.
Retief was First Secretary and Consul to the Mission to the planet Petreac under Ambassador Crodfoller. The Corps Diplomatique Terrestrienne were there to help the Nenni Caste and their Potentate to deal with their rival planet Rotune.
But Retief has discovered an underground movement called The People's Anti-Fascist Freedom League headed by a fellow named Zorn.
And unless Retief and his colleague Magnan get to the bottom of Zorn's gambling operation and play their own games, a whole spaceship's worth of diplomats would get their throats cut!

About the Author
John Keith Laumer (1925 - 1993) was an American science fiction author. Prior to becoming a full-time writer, he was an officer in the United States Air Force and a diplomat in the United States Foreign Service. His older brother March Laumer was also a writer, known for his adult reinterpretations of the Land of Oz (also mentioned in Laumer's The Other Side of Time). Frank Laumer, their youngest brother, is a historian and writer. Keith Laumer is known for the Bolo and Retief stories. Stories from the former chronicle the evolution of super tanks that eventually become self-aware through the constant improvement resulting from centuries of intermittent warfare against various alien races. The latter deals with the adventures of a cynical spacefaring diplomat who constantly has to overcome the red-tape-infused failures of people with names like Ambassador Grossblunder. The Retief stories were greatly influenced by Laumer's earlier career in the US Foreign Service. In an interview with Paul Walker of Luna Monthly, Laumer states "I had no shortage of iniquitous memories of the Foreign Service."
