The Magnificent Wilf
Gordon R. Dickson
Earth is contacted by
Galactic Civilization and diplomat Tom Parent and his wife Lucy, a
linguist, must represent Earth to the galaxy. There's only one tiny
catch -- Lucy is, or may be, a Wilf. And you know what that means....
Dickson's latest (after Other) is unabashed space opera, leavened with
humor. The narrative rockets into action immediately, moving dizzyingly
through alien contact with Earth and into a mission by diplomat Tom
Parent and his linguist wife, Lucy, to save the planet by proving to the
aliens that humans are civilized. Along their improbable way, the
couple watch their Great Dane, Rex, begin to talk; they also travel by
spaceship to an alien world and to an alien governing council that Tom
inadvertently joins by sitting in the wrong chair. The headlong dash
from event to event is paramount; dialogue and characterization are
credible, though simple. This novel succeeds as light entertainment, but
it doesn't match the complexity or vision of the Dorsai series, or for
that matter much else...
