"In Zany-Doo did Jame Retief aa stately pleasure dome decree..."
Retief's latest assignment is on Zany-Doo, a wild, undeveloped planet whose residents have a marked dislike for Terrans.

Then Retief and Magnan stumble into an idyllic enclave unlike anything else they've seen -- and realize just how special Zany-Doo is. The planet is at the center of a trans-temporal flux where the very nature of reality can be transformed by a thought.
But even in a world where reality is subject to whim, honor, courage and determination will carry the day. After all, Retief is just a state of mind....
