7/4/2023 0 Comments Double star novelIt is only when he is on his way to Mars that he finds out he will have to impersonate one of the most prominent politicians in the Solar System (and one with whose views Smith deeply disagrees): John Joseph Bonforte. A brilliant actor and mimic, he is down to his last coin when a spaceman hires him to double for an unspecified public figure. The story, which is told in the first person, centers on down-and-out actor Lawrence Smith (stage name Lorenzo Smythe, also known as "The Great Lorenzo"). The indigenous alien race inhabiting Mars has recently been admitted to citizenship in the human-dominated solar system government. The novel is set in the future, when the Moon, Mars and Jupiter's satellites have been colonized and the solar system is governed by a parliamentary democracy from a capitol city on the Moon.
