Lighthearted Social Satire from the creator of Retief
Written in the mid-sixties, The Monitors pokes fun at contemporary American mores, politics and patriotism by introducing a race of powerful, but benevolent, aliens intent on improving the human race. Told from a luckless ex-pilot's point of view and featuring an embarassing cast of nuts, The Monitors is Laumer at his sardonic best. If you're a fan of Jame Retief, you'll enjoy The Monitors
