It isn't till Nolly Stennis ~ former opera singer turned accountant ~ hears of two performers (one of them his client) signing contracts with them and then vanishing that he gets suspicious. But he hardly expects that when he starts to investigate he will be kidnapped and find himself on the second moon of the seventh planet of the star Aldebran. Earth, a primitive world, is off-limits to the advanced civilisations of the Galaxy. But primitive culture is in vogue, and so Narabella Ltd. Has been set up to recruit talent for tours of distant worlds. Frederik Pohl's novel is a highly-ploished entertainment by a master of science fiction.* A NEAR VG+ ex-lib, text copy of the 1st/ 1st thus, with some faults in a VG protected dust jacket.*
