"What's he got?" the old man said. "Ain't contagious, is it?"

"That's what I want a doctor to tell me."

"I can't get the doc 'fore in the morning. And we got no private bathrooms."

There was a lot of flowered wallpaper and an old-fashioned wash-stand and two wide beds. I stretched Foster out on one. He lay relaxed, a serene expression on his face—the kind undertakers try for but never quite seem to manage. I sat down on the other bed and pulled off my shoes. It was my turn to have a tired mind.

This one reminded me of the Mucker, in that it's covers like 5 genres. Legion starts out as

A fun old SF adventure that went on a bit longer than it should have, IMO. Still, I enjoyed it. Laumer writes a great main character. They're likable, intelligent, tough, & have an unusual penchant for getting into trouble. For all their intelligence, they can makes some particularly bad personal de
