Book 24 - WASP by Eric Frank Russell


A special ops agent is dropped onto an alien planet with the instructions to mess it up as much as possible. Officially the funniest terrorist's handbook ever.

Now this is a fun read. James Mowry is thrown on a planet full of aliens that humanity is warring with. his exact orders are to make things hard for the people of the planet and disrupt the world as much as possible. The way he goes about this follows a simple continuation of steps that results in an entire world in anarchy and disorder.

And it is really fun to read too. Following Mowry as he sows seeds of dissent, encourages rebellion but ultimately single handedly brings an entire planet to its knees with little more than stickers, some letters and about 5 murders, its great fun.

Also the author may have actually known people who did this kind of thing so there's always the fact that its basically a fictional retelling of WW2 Spec Ops.
