The Ecolitan Operation

The Empire spans the human galaxy, its agents everywhere. Major Jimjoy Earle Wright, secret agent of the Empire, intelligent and highly trained, succeeds too well in overthrowing a military dictatorship -- and the result is a new government inimical to the Empire. So Jimjoy and his superiors are in disgrace. They want him dead. After Jimjoy survives two assassination attempts, he begins to realize that his troubles are serious. And that his worst enemies are his friends. What, then, about his supposed enemies, the Ecolitan Institute of Accord? Jimjoy is a hero faced with a dilemma. And he must fight his way, explode his way, out of it. Copyright 1989 by L. E. Modesitt, Jr. Published by TOR.
