Purchase options and add-ons

Detectives of the future will command stealth and arcane techniques to satisfy their stingy and demanding clients, who seek results over interstellar distances. Miro Hetzel is an Effectuator: one who goes beyond fact-finding, to produce changes in process and result—sometimes at the point of a gun.

Industrialist Sir Ivon Hacaway, facing cutthroat pricing from a new competitor, employs Hetzel to determine the identity and methods of a commercial threat. Miro is led to the hazardous planet Maz and The Dogtown Tourist Agency. A hub of overlapping sovereignties, Maz is where the interests of alien Liss and Olefract intersect with those of mankind; the native population—the warlike Gomaz—make industrial pursuits on the planet improbable; the circumstance presents a puzzle for Hetzel, whose investigations, close shaves, and discoveries make for an exciting yarn.

In Freitzke's Turn, Hetzel accepts a commission to recover purloined pieces of anatomy belonging to client Conwit Clent. The thief is Faurence Dacre, a school-hood chum of Miro's, now a celebrity surgeon. Hetzel's convoluted pursuit is resolved with a surprising twist of medical revenge!

All in a day's work for Miro Hetzel, the Galactic Effectuator.

Miro Hetzel, Effectuator was first published as Galactic Effectuator.

Miro Hetzel, Effectuator is Volume 50 of the Spatterlight Press Signature Series.Released in the centenary of the author's birth, this handsome new collectionis based upon the prestigious Vance Integral Edition. Select volumes enjoyup-to-date maps, and many are graced with freshly-written forewords contributedby a distinguished group of authors. Each book bears a facsimile of theauthor's signature and a previously-unpublished photograph, chosen from family archives for the period the book was written. These uniquefeatures will be appreciated by all, from seasoned Vance collector to new reader sampling the spectrum of this author's influential work forthe first time. – John Vance II

Another pair of stories by one of the very greatest writers in the Genre - Jack Vance's imagination is astonishing and his ability to make the people, places and creatures of his imagination totally believable is without equal.
Highly recommended !

5.0 out of 5 stars Jack Vance was brilliant!

This book as with all books I have read by Jack Vance is too short. I wish they never ended. A master story teller, with the gift to transport you far away into the realms of immagination. I loved getting to know Miro Hetzel, galactic effectuator. Really two separate stories with the same main character.

Jack Vance (who died last year) was one of the best science fiction and fantasy authors ever. He manages to "marry" science fiction, and detective
genre's in many of his books. I have read all of his books with the greatest pleasure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Futuristic detective noir, the way it should be.

Wonderfully written like everything Jack Vance did. Action and violence, but not gratuitously gory. Romance but no explicitness or obscenity.

Two of the miraculous and flawlessly polished Jack Vance novellas. (The Last Castle also comes to mind.) Even better as an eBook.
