Lone Star Planet
John J. McGuire and H. Beam Piper
Book Overview:
New Texas: its citizens figure that name about says it all. The Solar League ambassador to the Lone Star Planet has the unenviable task of convincing New Texans that a s’Srauff attack is imminent, and dangerous. Unfortunately it’s common knowledge that the s’Srauff are evolved from canine ancestors—and not a Texan alive is about to be scared of a talking dog! But unless he can get them to act, and fast, there won’t be a Texan alive, scared or otherwise!

Novela de space opera de los años cincuenta, con una propuesta de sistema de gobierno que en estos momentos se me antoja casi deseable. Bormas aparte es una novela corta, divertida y a pesar de los tópicos y de la distancia (cultural y temporal) con la época en que fue escrita no deja de ofrecer un
Okay, "first off" the cover and to a certain extent the synopsis I read mislead me. There isn't really any real military content. The invasion plays a part of the story but don't go in looking for planet side guns fighting off invading ships as is pictured on the cover of some editions.
