Worlds of Paul Jessup

My favorite part:
This sounds like rich fodder for space opera because it’s exactly that. The plot and the characters’ interpersonal relationships are intertwined in a way that keeps the story interesting and fresh. Despite its length, there’s lots to chew on in this meaty novella-sized book.
