Just read "Secret Agent of Terra" (1962) by John Brunner. For such a pulpy title and cover, it's a fun, tight, well-packed little book. I'm honestly kind of amazed just how much STUFF, worldbuilding and myths and so on, he's able to pack into a mere ~120 pages and still end up with something pleasantly satisfying. Seems like one of those authors who's good at communicating a lot through brevity and inference. The one thing I'd like in fact would be for it to simply be longer. Apparently the author did rework it a few years later and add a couple more titles into a series, so I'll have to check those out as well.
