The book title that Sue Brezden is looking for is "Next of Kin" by Eric
Frank Russell. Another one of his that I found very entertaining was
"Wasp". Set against the same background of technologically advanced Earth
against less advanced but numerically superior Sirians ( spot the theme!)
it is the tale of a reluctant secret agent dropped on a planet behind
enemy lines with orders to create as much chaos as possible. Worth looking
at if you have the time, but not a great work of literature.
