Agent of what?
David G. Bell
assigning member a secret identity (pass me the Swan Vestas) for some
obscure purpose of their own.
Science Fiction is, however, full of secret agents.
So, has anyone else, walking into a convention, imagined themself as
some sort of secret agent. And an agent of what? There's plenty of
choices. Even, I suppose, James Bond in the movies is verging on sci-
fi.
How about you? Limit it to an agent of a government. Not the X-Men,
then, but maybe working for the government as a freelance, as Telzey
Amberdon sometimes did.

Oh yeah! Great fun, or at least the first three were, then the fourth
suddenly got deadly serious. I was _really_ hoping for more but it never
happened.

What he said.
(Was Larry Maddock the author's real name? Was it the same author for #4 as
for previous books? Am I really remembering the name "Hannibal Fortune"
correctly?)

Actually, you'd better check with Leslie first.

Mark used to carry a roll of quarters around with him, and when people
found out, they kept asking him for change. Once when his boss's boss
did this, Mark said that when he came to work for the company, he had
been told he would be an agent for change, but he hadn't realized this
was what they meant.
After all this, someone gave Mark one of those coin dispensers like bus
drivers used to wear on their belts at Mark's going-away luncheon.
