Advance Agent

Dan expected a routine intelligence assignment. What he got was a nightmare: impersonate the galaxy's most famous man, or lose everything. The problem is, he's nothing like this legendary figure, and everyone is watching. When the mission goes sideways and Dan finds himself surrounded by enemies who think they're dealing with a god among men, survival means pulling off the performance of his life with nothing but nerve and improvisation. Christopher Anvil delivers a propulsive science fiction adventure where the real battle isn't fought with weapons but with wits. The comedy of a man in over his head collides with genuine tension as Dan must think faster than anyone trying to kill him. This is classic Anvil: sharp, fast, and relentlessly entertaining.
