WONDER WORLDS BY A WONDER CRAFTSMAN

Edwer Thissel, Consular Representative of the Home Planets, had his problems. A notorious assassin had arrived on the planet of Sirene - and instructions had come for Thissell to capture or kill him!

When an out-worlder's body was found in the river, Thissell knew where the criminal was - behind one of the masks worn by the three remaining out-worlders on Sirene. But how to tell which one, on that world where everybody lived behind masks, where men never spoke but sang to instruments, and where any act of intervention in another man's business was punishable by death!

The Moon Moth
is only one of the highly imaginative and exciting stories in this delightful collection by Jack Vance.
