Summary: "A Tourist Named Death" by Christopher Anvil is a science fiction novella written in the early 1960s. The narrative follows an operative named Dan Redman, who is sent to a planet called Truth, which is inhabited by technologically advanced beings known as Truthians. The story revolves around themes of espionage, corporate conflict, and the intricacies of interplanetary relations, as Redman navigates dangers posed by both his enemies and the environment. The plot kicks off when Galactic Enterprises discovers the undeveloped planet Triax, but faces potential complications from the neighboring planet Truth. Dan is equipped with advanced technology and biological enhancements before being sent to Truth to investigate the disruptive espionage that threatens Galactic's investments. As he embeds himself within the planet's society, he grapples with befriending the locals while facing threats from both the covert agents of Galactic and the mysterious forces behind the unrest. Amidst various challenges, he learns about the societal dynamics and hierarchies of Truth, ultimately leading him to confront powerful enemies and a conspiracy aimed at swaying an important political referendum. The story artfully combines action and intrigue, with a dash of humor, making it a compelling read for fans of speculative fiction. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
