From Publishers Weekly
When he is shanghaied from Earth to the second moon of the seventh planet of the star Aldebaran, accountant Nolly Stennis loudly demands to be sent home. Then an alien surgeon repairs the damage of an adult case of the mumps, giving ex-opera singer Nolly back his voice and virility. Within days, alien impresarios send him on tour in Don Giovanni with other waylaid human singersto the applause of thousands. Somehow, his return doesn't seem so crucial anymore. Until, that is, his fellow abductees explain what's in store for those who don't cooperate. Pohl's vigorous narrative voice makes the brisk opening a grabber. In the slower middle section, he uses the reader's interest in his characters to once again pose a moral dilemma in vivid images, most memorably in the monstrous executioner who turns out to be Nolly's doctor.

Paperback: 7" x 4½". Condition: Good: Moderate signs of wear. Cover Art: Steve Crisp (illustrator). 1991 Edition. © 1988: A stand-alone novel by Frederik Pohl. 1st printing of 1991 edition:- Synopsis: Knollwood Stennis (opera singer turned accountant) knew that the vast empire called Narabedla Ltd was set up to support scientific research and cultural events. He knew that Narabedla Ltd was huge. What he didn't know was that it owned a piece of just about every fast-growing company in the market. A big piece. Ford, ITT - any of the companies of Big Oil - Narabedla was right up there and could probably buy and sell some of them. When Nolly does stumble on these startling facts, an alarm bell starts to ring in the back of his nimble brain. But then two fellow performers signed to Narabedla disappear in suspicious circumstances. Some sort of investigation seems in order. Nolly expects to find there's more than charitable works going on in Narabedla. What he doesn't expect is to be kidnapped and find himself dumped on the second moon of the seventh planet of the star Aldebaran:- Review(s): "The most consistently able writer science fiction has yet produced" - Kingsley Amis / "The shrewdest thinker on the future that I have ever met" - Isaac Asimov:- (original cost £4.50).
