Book description
Legally, the United Planets Organization could do nothing about the
repressive, backward planetary governments of Falange, Stalin and Doria.
It was imperative, however, that something be done. The UP had proof
that a race of highly advanced, warlike aliens existed somewhere in the
depths of space - the human-held worlds ad to be ready to meet the
challenge when it came. For this reason the secret corps, Section G, was
formed. No government could be allowed to hold up the progress of
mankind; Section G was ordered to bring them down - by any means
necessary! Mack Reynolds (1917-1983). Dallas McCord ('Mack') Reynolds
was born in California in 1917. His father was the Socialist Labor Party
Presidential Candidate on two occasions, and Reynolds' life and work
were deeply affected by his political upbringing. After early careers in
newspapers and computing, Reynolds returned from the Second World War
and began to write science fiction. Based in Mexico but travelling
widely in his role as Travel Editor for a men's magazine, he started
slowly but surely to sell his work. Mack Reynolds wrote the first Star
Trek novel, Mission to Horatius, and was once voted Most popular SF
Author by the readers of Galaxy Science Fiction magazine. He died in
1983.
