WHEN IN DOUBT [The Adventures of Webley, Symbiote #3] by Larry Maddock

The Lost Adventures of Agent of T.E.R.R.A.'s Webley, Alien Symbiote!

Before everyone's favorite, acerbic symbiote joined forces with Hannibal Fortune and T.E.R.R.A., "he" starred in three stories about the doings of Creatures, Inc.

This trio of Webley tales has never been reprinted, and since it appeared in a poorly circulated British science fiction magazine and remained virtually unknown for more than four decades. Filled with the same delightful wit as the Agent of T.E.R.R.A. novels, these early Webley outings were introduced by the British editor this way when presenting "Creatures, Inc.," the first of these stories (see the Related Products tab): "Humor in science fiction is more often that not conspicuous by its absence. It is therefore more than a pleasure to introduce a new author who presents a strong streak of satire in his first story."

An alien shapechanger to the rescue! Take one genius alien and one befuddled Earthman, mix well and the result is hilarity. When Webley and Bill Grant hire out a rainbow-hued gaggle of aliens, they don't dream of the political firestorm the resulting orgy will set off.

Don't miss this third and final Creatures, Incorporated story, featuring the exploits of that lovable, curmudgeonly symbiote, Webley, before he joined Hannibal Fortune as an Agent of T.E.R.R.A. Another sidesplitting 1960s Larry Maddock sf classic!
