One minute, down and out actor Lorenzo Smythe was -- as usual -- in a bar, drinking away his troubles as he watched his career go down the tubes. Then a space pilot bought him a drink, and the next thing Smythe knew, he was shanghaied to Mars.
Suddenly he found himself agreeing to the most difficult role of his career: impersonating an important politician who had been kidnapped.

And Smythe's own life was on the line -- for if he wasn't assassinated, there was always the possibility that he might be trapped in his new role forever!
罗伯特·海因莱因
Robert A.Heinlein（1907——1988）
“美国现代科幻小说之父”，“科幻三巨头”之一，11次雨果大奖得主，1974年，获得科幻界至高荣誉——美国科幻与奇幻作家协会终身成就奖“大师奖”。
他的作品逻辑缜密，在科学可信度上达到了罕有高度， 并以宏大格局重新定义科幻文学写作标准，将科幻带入主流文学殿堂。1961年出版的《异乡异客》，更摘得“有史以来畅销科幻小说”桂冠。包括乔治·R·R·马丁、康妮·威利斯、罗伯特·西尔伯格在内，后世受其影响的科幻奇幻作家不计其数。连阿西莫夫都承认自己曾经“有意识地模仿他”。
半个多世纪以来，海因莱因持续影响着世界文化：他超前的太空开拓观直接推动了人类太空探索的进程；他发明的“动力装甲“和“太空虫族”概念为影视游戏产业开拓了新疆域；他的青少年科幻促进了航天事业的蓬勃发展，阿波罗15号的宇航...
