Prince Roger MacClintock was an heir to the galaxy's Throne of Man - and a self-obsessed spoiled young brat...until he and the Royal Marines sent to protect him were stranded on Marduk with only their feet to get them half way around the entire planet. So far, they've traversed a continent, crossed a sea full of ship-eating monsters, taken over an enemy spaceport, and hijacked a starship. But they're not home-free yet, because home is no longer free. In Roger's absence, a palace coup by enemies of the MacClintock family has seized control of the Empire. His mother the Empress is a captive in the palace and even in her own body, drugged so that her will is not her own. Roger's brother, the heir to the throne, is dead. And Roger himself has been branded an outlaw and traitor. Roger and his faithful band of human marines and native allen warriors have beaten the barbarian planet Marduk. Now they must re-conquer an interstellar empire. But they aren't about to give up, and once again a lot of power-hungry people are going to learn a hard lesson: You do not, ever, mess with a MacClintock!

Seller's Description:
F- in F- jacket. F-/F-. 8vo. original black boards gilt (slightly rubbed) in dustwrapper priced $26.00 U.S. (a little rubbed and marked ); pp. vi, 392. A near fine copy. The fourth book in the Empire of Man series of science fiction novels.
Even if you are enhanced to the Nth degree you get dinged, and occasionally more than that. Nice to see a semi realistic hero once in a while (hard to believe there was no pain/phantom pain/itching involved just "a bit of bother").
