Genres: Fiction
He was a dark-haired man, thirty pounds past good-looking: the kind whose face turned red very easily, and lately his face was turning red more than usual. He brushed off a few specks of dust and leaned back in the seat of his shuttle taking him from the Base to the Détente Asteroid. After six months, the useless embassy there was just beginning to feel familiar, though he doubted he would ever get used to Fixion.As Commissioner, he was not foolish enough to believe the optimistic projections h...e sent back to Earth through the Information Bureau, but he had to make others believe them.
