When the Old Galactics disappeared thirty thousand years earlier,
they left behind the plasmoids, organic machines capable of amazing
feats that will bring power and wealth to whoever controls them.
Trigger Argee, a young, beautiful agent in the Precolonial
Department, finds herself drawn into the efforts to keep the
plasmoids from falling into the wrong hands. Caught up in a swirl
of espionage and intrigue that sweeps across the Galaxy, she must
face new dangers at every turn, unable to distinguish friend from
foe. But the greatest danger she faces just might be the Old
Galactics'... Legacy
John W. Campbell wrote this for a blurb for this tale when it
appeared in "Analog" "He contracted for a charter trip -- but the
man who hired his spacer wasn't quite a man, it turned out -- and
he wanted more than service!"
James H. Schmitz was a heck of a writer, and this story -- "The
Winds of Time" -- is fascinating stuff. Star ships, aliens from the
future, time travel, romance, cannibalism, pet humans, and
mute-but-brilliant aliens. . . . and, of course, it's got a hero
who solves every problem by being smarter and trickier and
better-prepared than we'd ever imagine being. But what would you
expect? This story first appeared in John W. Campbell's "Analog."
"Analog" heroes did it with their brains. Us? We have to work.
James H. Schmitz and "Space Opera" were almost synonymous. He was
best known for his tales of interstellar secret agents and,
galactic criminals, and particularly for heroines like Telzey
Amberdon and Trigger Argee. This collection of stories, while not
lacking in cosmic adventures also shows that he was capable of
showing other facets in his work. Find adventure, humor and fear
in... Schmitz Resurrected Stories include: An Incident on Route 12
Watch the Sky The Other Likeness The Star Hyacinths Oneness The
Winds of Time Ham Sandwich Gone Fishing
On a bleak, distant uncharted world two ships lay wrecked and a
lone man stared at a star hyacinth. Its brilliance burned into his
retina . . . and he knew that men could easily kill and kill for
that one beauty alone.
