Agent of Vega

Rating:
Summary: Brilliant collection of Novellas by famed SF author
Review: James Schmitz was in his best form for these exciting Tansy stories. He accurately predicted, 40 years ago, microchip devices and communications technology - but the settings are not the usual dry hacker-filled distopia so common these days, quite the reverse. Schmitz puts his beautiful heroine in settings with weird aliens, and strange planets. A really good read.

Rating:
Summary: A slight correction
Review: The previous reviewer is slightly off base. This not a series of "Tansy" (Telzey?) stories. It is a separate series about a classified military/police unit set in the same universe (more or less) as the Telzey Amberdeen stories. There are four excellent stories here, each about a different agent/situation. All four are worth your time. These stories are aimed at a slightly more sophisticated audience than the "Telzey" stories. I highly recommend this book.
