Retief and the Warlords

Terran diplomats are the epitome of good taste—but do they taste good? That is the question on every alien mandible as the Haterakans invade the human-occupied Goober Cluster in search of new feeding grounds. The Cluster is in deadly danger—but "provocation" of the Haterakans might jeopardize the Corps Diplomatique Terrestrienne's new foreign aid program and so is forbidden, no matter what the aliens' choice of hors d'oeuvres. Alas for the chitinous aliens; just when they think they have discovered a wonderful new food supply they run smack up against a diplomat who refuses to act like one. Leave it to Retief to spoil everything.
