Silk meets his secretary/bodyguard, a native New Texan named Hoddy Ringo. The contents of a trunk aboard the ship shock him: contrary to the practices of the Consular Service, he will have to dress in native costume and carry a pair of automatic pistols in ejection holsters. He finds proof that implies that he's being set up for assassination, with the approval of the Consular Service... Lone Star Planet is a science fiction novel by H. Beam Piper. It presents a world on which the assassination of politicians is accepted practice.
