A classic novel from the master of science fiction, Frank Herbert's Whipping Star. "Herbert is one of the most thought-provoking writers of our time; by focusing on 'alien' culture, he makes us examine what the true definition of 'human' is." --The Pacific Sun

In the far future, humankind has made contact with numerous other species: Gowachin, Laclac, Wreaves, Pan Spechi, Taprisiots, and Caleban, and has helped to form the ConSentiency to govern among the species. After suffering under a tyrannous pure democracy, the sentients of the galaxy find the need for a Bureau of Sabotage (BuSab) to slow the wheels of government, thereby preventing it from legislating recklessly. BuSab is allowed to sabotage and harass the governmental, administrative, and economic powers in the ConSentiency. Private citizens must not be harassed, and vital functions of society are also exempt.

Jorj X. McKie is a born troublemaker who has become one of BuSab's best agents. Drafted for the impossible task of establishing meaningful communication with an utterly alien entity who defies understanding, McKie finds himself racing against time to prevent a mad billionairess from wiping out all life in the ConSentiency.

Works well
Color: 5-in-1 Black, Size: Rechargeable Set
Have owned many of these cordless wine openers, some by major brands. The batteries on all seem to fail after a few years, so decided to get this cheaper version during Prime Days. After 5 months, it's holding up well. The wine foil opener is a little flimsy, but if you grip it tightly, it's fine (though it seems that it could easily break).
