About this book

Heist Job on Thizar, by Randall Garrett, is introduced with the words "In the future, we may discover new planets; our ships may rocket to new worlds; robots may be smarter than people." Anson Drake sits quietly in the Flamebird Room of the Royal Gandyll Hotel, listening to the alien but soothing strains of the native orchestra and sipping a drink. The text says Drake knew perfectly well that he had no business displaying himself in public on the planet Thizar; there were influential Thizarians who held no love for a certain Earthman named Anson Drake.

A news item headed VIRON BELGEZAD BUYS ALGOL NECKLACE says the necklace, made of matched Star Diamonds, is estimated to be worth more than a million credits, although the price paid by Belgezad is not known. The text says the police couldn't touch Belgezad, but Anson Drake could, and would. A woman describes a small globe of metal as a sleep-gas bomb that will knock them out for at least twenty minutes.
