His wits and unusual methods bring each to a surprising conclusion Written between 1948 and 1957, the tales in this book establish Magnus Ridolph as a memorably spry and resourceful troubleshooter with nerves of steel-and a knack for getting the goods.Magnus Ridolph is Volume 2 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.

The best story by far is one I had read before, The Kokod Warriors. An imaginative concept, written with depth and originality. Superb. ( )
