The Rampart World's Book 1 - Perseus Spur - Hardback
Description
I was living in pleasant anonymity under the name of Helmut Icicle, taking smartass sport-divers out on holocam trips around the reefs of Kedge-Lockaby. K-L's a freesoil planet way out in the boondocks. That's why I like it: as a Throwaway, it makes life easier if no one asks nosy questions. Plus, it's fourteen thousand light-years away from civilization: from Rampart Starcorp, from the HQ of the Intersellar Commerce Secretariat (where I used to work), and best of all, my father.
So one minute there I was, subbing around Brillig Reef watching the piscoids fining through the underwater forests, making enough of a living to afford a little rotgut Danaen whiskey now and again; the next thing I know, some giant sea-toad has eaten my house and I'm caught up in a galactic conspiracy!
