5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Agent of Vega (Paperback)
The previous reviewer is slightly off base. This not a series of "Tansy" (Telzey?) stories. It is a separate series about a classified military/police unit set in the same universe (more or less) as the Telzey Amberdeen stories. There are four excellent stories here, each about a different agent/situation. All four are worth your time. These stories are aimed at a slightly more sophisticated audience than the "Telzey" stories. I highly recommend this book.

"Agent of Vega" isn't so much a single book as a series of short stories that are all loosely connected - a person mentioned in one story is featured in the next and so on. They all are about the Galactic Zone Agents of the Vegan Federation. These stories have not lost their freshness despite this book originally having been published 47 years ago. Fans of good, old-fashioned science fiction will love James Schmitz!

Brilliant collection of Novellas by famed SF author, Jan 4 1999

James Schmitz was in his best form for these exciting Tansy stories. He accurately predicted, 40 years ago, microchip devices and communications technology - but the settings are not the usual dry hacker-filled distopia so common these days, quite the reverse. Schmitz puts his beautiful heroine in settings with weird aliens, and strange planets. A really good read.
