"Last Call From Sector 9G" by Leigh Brackett is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around a man named Lloyd Durham, who finds himself embroiled in political intrigue and personal struggles in a complex universe inhabited by humanoids and non-humanoids alike, primarily set within the Galactic Center known as The Hub. As he navigates his troubled past and the expectations of others, Durham is tasked with a dangerous mission connected to the mysterious Bitter Star. The opening of the book introduces Lloyd Durham as he is reluctantly drawn back into the bigger world following a bout of heavy drinking. After two Embassy members, Paulsen and Burke, arrive at his apartment, he learns that he has been summoned by Hawtree, an influential figure from the Terran Embassy. Though reluctant, Durham agrees to take on a covert mission that involves traveling to the isolated planet of Nanta Dik, where he must gather crucial information while dealing with his own demons and the potential for danger. As the plot unfolds, we see glimpses of his past relationships and growing threats as he is pursued by unknown enemies, all while setting the stage for the larger conflict that unfolds throughout the narrative.
