Summary: "Tiger by the Tail" by Poul Anderson is a science fiction novel written during the early 1950s. The story follows Captain Dominic Flandry, an ace saboteur for the Terran Empire, who finds himself captured by the horned Scothani, a barbarian race intent on invading Terra. As Flandry navigates his captivity, he must navigate complex political machinations and understand the ambitions of his captors while determining his own path forward. The plot centers on Captain Flandry's attempts to survive and ultimately sabotage the Scothani plans for conquest. After being drugged and abducted, he learns about the Scothani's growing power and their desire to invade the Terran Empire. Flandry uses his keen intelligence and charm to ingratiate himself with his captors, all the while gathering information to undermine their ambitions. As he interacts with various Scothani leaders, including the ambitious Crown Prince Cerdic, and engages with the political landscape of their empire, Flandry must navigate treachery, form alliances, and ultimately orchestrate a counter-plot to save his own world from impending invasion. The narrative weaves themes of honor versus dishonor, the complexities of empire, and the character's adaptability amidst chaos. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
