即便你把这个故事概括为动作/冒险类，也依然低估了它的精妙。故事讲述了一名特工被空投到一个敌对星球，其目标只有一个：扰乱、分散注意，并在行星管理当局中大肆搅局，堪称非传统心理战的教科书级范例。Russell曾有一个理论：一个人只要获得极少的支持，就能彻底搅乱整颗星球，以至于其军事战斗力受到严重削弱。本书便是他这一理论的小说化呈现。

我强烈推荐 Eric Frank Russell 的科幻小说。尤其是《Wasp》（http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0575070951/）。Russell 是个很棒的作家，而且幽默风趣。《The Great Explosion》（http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/088184991X/）也是一本好书。
I highly recommend the science fiction of Eric Frank Russell. Especially Wasp (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0575070951/) Russell is a great writer. And funny. The Great Explosion (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/088184991X/) is another good one.
……《太空商人》（Space Merchants）），Bradbury 对审查和冒犯的探讨（《华氏451》）都是立刻浮现在脑海里的例子。但这绝不是孤例——还有很多其他的。（Eric Frank Russell 的《Wasp》是经久不衰的心头好，放在今天读依然犀利如初。）
…Space Merchants), Bradbury's commentary on censorship and offence (Fahrenheit 451) are both ones that spring to mind. But these are not isolated examples - there are lots of others. (Erik Frank Russell's Wasp is a perennial favourite and works as well today as ever.)
还有一个相关的洞见，在 Eric Frank Russell 的《Wasp》[1] 里体现得很充分：光是留下被人动过手脚的蛛丝马迹，就足以引发恐惧和恐慌。在这部带有 Kurt Vonnegut Jr. 风格的精彩黑色讽刺小说中，单个特工……
There's also the related observation, demonstrated in Eric Frank Russell's Wasp [1], that merely leaving behind the signs of tampering is enough to cause fear and panic. In the novel, which is written as a deliciously dark satire in the vein of Kurt Vonnegut Jr., a single agent…
……似乎永远如此。这——当然——绝非什么新鲜事。只不过是媒介变了，而这对于构建所谓的“战线”来说至关重要。如果你以前没读过，真该拿一本 Eric Frank Russell 的《WASP》[0] 看看。在这一领域它是非常值得一读的。[0] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasp_(novel)
…...forever it seems. It is - certainly - nothing new. The medium has merely changed and that's what important to the staging of the front[s], as it were. You should pick up a copy of Eric Frank Russell's WASP[0], if you haven't read it before. It's a very good read in this area. [0] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasp_(novel)
啊，我怀疑你说的是 Heinlein？他动不动扯到上世纪中叶哲学的题外话有时会让人觉得沉闷。不过另一方面，Frederik Pohl 的《Gateway》系列依然是我的最爱之一。而 Eric Frank Russell 的《Wasp》能排进我的前三。
Ah, I suspect you refer to Henlein? His digressions into mid-century philosophy can become tedious. On the other hand the Gateway series (Frederik Poul) is still one of my favorites. And Wasp by Eric Frank Russell is in my top 3.
