He was taken in charge by a man who knew nothing about the running of the Lambda - and yet pretended he did...

6/10. Media de los 14 libros leídos del autor : 6/10
Otro de los autores clásicos "de ideas". en general se deja leer pero los que más me gustaron suyos son "Un lógico llamado Joe" o "El señor de los Uffis"
