"In Double Star you can smell and feel and practically taste the future." --Chicago Tribune

When the most important statesman of the 21st century disappears on Mars, the only hope of preventing interplanetary war lies in a ham actor's ability to impersonate the missing leader well enough to fool two worlds!

Lorenzo Smythe faces a lifetime masquerade if the politician never shows up. He must choose between causing disaster by quitting, or saving galactic peace by sacrificing his own identity forever.
