A FICTION HOUSE FACSIMILE REPRINT:
EARTHMEN IN TROUBLE
HARRIS was caged in an underwater "zoo" by a pack of blue lobsters
MARIA drew a five-year sentence on a puritancial planet for trying to buy a souvenir—and for being excessively feminine
TARANTO & MEYERS had committed the crime of being shipwrecked on a planet that didn't like strangers
GERSON was simply kidnapped—and nobody had any idea why
Five citizens of Terra were being held on other worlds—and the ultra-secret Department 99 existed only to set them, and others like them, free.
This tense novel is the story of one evening's work for Department 99—their successes and failures—and of the strange crisis that almost wrecked D-99.
