Hmm... Change the face o the "galaxy"? Dunno 'bout THAT. In Double Star, we r not even out o the solar system yet. "Peace summit"? OK, maybe. But what it actually was, was Bonforte (ie, his double) being adopted into a Martian clan. Failure to appear wld b an insult fatal to peaceful coexistence, so, I guess? But not the usual meaning o the term. Still, appreciate attention being paid to one o the Master's less-known novels. Everyone knows Starship Troopers, Stranger in a Strange Land, & Moon Is a Harsh Mistress. Most ppl know @ lst some of the Juvies. But 2nd-string works (that'd b career-topping masterpieces for most authors), like Glory Road, Job, Friday, Revolt in 2100, Sixth Column, Farnham's Freehold, Puppet Masters, all the rest, r too often forgotten. Well done.
