About this book
The teaser for In Case of Fire says there are times when a broken tool is better than a sound one, or a twisted personality more useful than a whole one. The text says every man in the Diplomatic Corps who developed a twitch or a quirk was shipped to Saarkkad IV to work under Bertrand Malloy. A man is described as having psychopathic paranoia: not technically insane, but morbidly suspicious that every man's hand was turned against him. A man listed as number two suffered from some sort of emotional block that left him continually on the horns of one dilemma or another.
The text says Earth had been caught unprepared for an armistice, and the Karna pointed out that the Saarkkad sun was just as far from Karn as it was from Earth. The Secretary of State asks, "Couldn't go, Mr. Ambassador?" and Malloy looks at him and asks, "Didn't you know?"
