The Man From P.I.G. books

The stories of "The Man From P.I.G" and "The Man From R.O.B.O.T" are told to the new graduate members of the Patrol - the warriors and policemen of space - by their commanding officer.

In "The Man From R.O.B.O.T", Henry Venn is the agent from the Robot Obtrusion Battalion - Omega Three, who is sent to investigate the paranoid behaviour of the inhabitants of the planet Slagter.

The 'storytelling' forms a framework which links the stories. This volume is marketed as for younger readers, but both stories in it originally appeared in 'straight' SF magazines.
