Publisher's summary

New Texas: its citizens figure that name about says it all. The Solar League ambassador to the Lone Star Planet has the unenviable task of convincing New Texans that a s'Srauff attack is imminent, and dangerous. Unfortunately it's common knowledge that the s'Srauff are evolved from canine ancestors - and not a Texan alive is about to be scared of a talking dog. But unless he can get them to act, and fast, there won't be a Texan alive, scared or otherwise. An unique tale of science fiction from master writer H. Beam Piper.

A Great Story Brought To Life

Many years ago I had the privilege of reading Lone Star Planet. So it was quite a surprise to find this title on Audible. The narration is perfect for this story.

Short but interesting

Very short listen. Not very deep or expansive, but an interesting premise. if you want a fun, fast listen, this might be for you. Not a long, epic, complicated story and also very light on science or technology, but that isn't the point of this story. I liked it for a short listen.

A Fun Read

This book was an unexpected fun read. I thoroughly enjoyed the reader. His Texas drawl was a hoot and brought the characters to life.
