Shortlisted for the Hugo Award for Best Novel (1974) and the Nebula Award for Best Novel (1973).

Think there's an unbridgeable gulf between human and alien thought? Not so! There's a common tongue, all right -- and Nicholas Van Rijn speaks it fluently: TRADE. For behind the buffoonish blarney and bawdy bonhomie of the Falstaffian Van Rijn is a man who gets things done. A born wheeler-dealer who usually leaves both sides better off in the bargain. (While pocketing a hefty cut of the profits himself, of course!) This volume is the first of three volumes set to contain the complete cycle of Polesotechnic League books and stories by Poul Anderson and starring Nicholas Van Rijn, his most famous character of all.
