Wasp

The war had been going on for nearly a year and the Sirian Empire had a huge advantage in personnel and equipment. Earth needed an edge, which was where James Mowry came in. If a small insect buzzing around in a car could distract the driver enough to crash, imagine what havoc a trained operative could wreak on an enemy. Intensively trained, his appearance surgically altered, James Mowry lands on Jaimec, the ninety-fourth planet of the Sirian Empire. His mission is simple: sap morale, cause mayhem, tie up resources, wage a one-man war on a planet of eighty million—be like a wasp. First published in 1957, WASP is considered Russell’s witty and exciting covert-war tale in enemy territory.
