Lone Star Planet

Lone Star Planet

by H. Beam Piper

In H. Beam Piper's 'Lone Star Planet,' the citizens of New Texas, a spacefaring colony with a distinct Texan swagger, face a perilous threat from the s'Srauff, an alien species. The Solar League ambassador tasked with warning them about the impending invasion finds himself facing an uphill battle due to the Texans' inherent distrust of 'talking dogs,' as they perceive the s'Srauff. The story plays out as a humorous yet gripping clash of cultures, where Texan independence and the ambassador's diplomatic skills are tested against the looming threat of interstellar war.
