Two, the last entry in the Gerald Knave science fiction series, was the final novel completed by Laurence M. Janifer before his death. Summoned from retirement and newly wedded bliss, Knave must solve an impossible (and impossibly complicated) case for the Emperor while balancing ihs professional life with his new private one.
"Gerald Knave: Survivor (as it says on his business cards) . . . is a freelance interstellar trouble-shooter loaded with attitude, and clearly a descendant of both Simon Templar and Sherlock Holmes, though he gets more interesting cases." -- Tom Easton, ANALOG
