Book description
Meet Victor Hasselborg, easily the most miserable Private Investigator
in the entire galaxy. More comfortable with the dull routine of
investigating insurance frauds than interstellar adventure, Hasselborg
is bound by duty to chase a runaway heiress across known space to the
primitive world called Krishna. Clad in kilt and sword, his hair dyed
green, riding a buggy driven by a six legged monster of a beast,
Hasselborg's quest takes him through the volatile world of feudal
Krishna politics and into the presence of . . . the Queen of Zamba. The
Queen of Zamba is the first of L. Sprague de Camp's Krishna book -
interplanetary romance in the tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Martian
Tales. Lyon Sprague de Camp was born in 1907 and died in 2000. During
a writing career that spanned seven decades, he wrote over a hundred
books in the areas of science fiction, fantasy, historical fiction,
non-fiction and biography. Although arguably best known for his
continuation of Robert E. Howard's Conan stories, de Camp was an
important figure in the formative period of modern SF, alongside the
likes of Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein, and was a winner of the
Hugo, World Fantasy Life Achievement and SFWA Grand Master awards.
