The Repairmen of Cyclops by John Brunner -- 'The Corps Galactica, the Galaxy's police force, had pledged itself to a policy of non-interference with the backward Zarathustra Refugee Planets. Gus Langenschmidt, the Corps chief on the planet Cyclops, was content with this ruling. After all, if the refugee planets could form their own civilizations from scratch, logically they would come up with cultures suited to their own needs. However, when the case of Justin Kolb came to his attention, Langenschniidt was forced to rethink the problem. Kolb's accident with the wolfshark revealed to the Corps' medicos the leg-graft that had been performed on him. It was a perfect match - only its gene-pattern wasn't Cyclopean, and limb-grafting wasn't practised on Cyclops. Where had the leg come from, who had been the unknown repairmen, and wasn't this something that might be violating galactic law?'.'
[Amazon Review] 3rd Zarathustra Adventure October 13, 1998 By A Customer: 'The third in Brunner's Zarathustra trilogy reunites us with the heroes of Carrig, Madeleina dos Santos and Gus Langenschmidt. A horrible deception is being practised on the inhabitants of an isolated planet. This is a good adventure story, but somehow Brunner's parallel plot mechanism didn't carry as much here as in some novels. Perhaps some of the storylines do not develop enough before they are brought together'.'
