045- The Best Policy, by Randall Garrett, 1957

Wherein Thagobar Verf meets first contact with Humanity

Ruiz Tremello & Marguerite are in Kyoto, Cuba, staying safe inside Fidel Castro's old Panic Palace. Between the Relics on the shelves and the episodes of Coronation Street on VHS, they also find time to discuss Randall Garrett's 1957 short story, "The Best Policy". Featuring one human and a diverse cast of Prawn-like Aliens, this short story has humor, action, intrigue, and adventure! Also, it's based on a true story that hasn't happened yet, according to a blog I found on the internet.

Stay safe out there.
