The Dirdir (Tschai, Planet of Adventure, Band 3) Taschenbuch – 4. Mai 2016
Kaufoptionen und Plus-Produkte
His exploration ship blasted from orbit, Terran scout Adam Reith is stranded on Tschai, a world colonized by three alien species -- the Chasch, the Dirdir, and the Wannek -- while the planet's original inhabitants, the mysterious Pnume, lurk underground. In the third book of the four-volume cycle, Reith resolves to build his own spacecraft, to escape Tschai and return to Earth. But the project requires a vast quantity of sequins, the precious stones that are Tschai's common currency -- which can be gathered only in the wildlands of the Carabas, where predatory Dirdir hunt men for pleasure. Reith conceives an unheard-of strategy to win wealth, but its success brings him into contact with the seamy crime boss Aila Woudiver, and leads to a deadly confrontation under alien justice.
Tschai is grandmaster Jack Vance at his unparalleled adventure-spinning peak. – Matt Hughes

'The Dirdir' is the third volume describing Adam Reith's adventures as an Earthman stranded on the planet Tschai. Attempting to either re-outfit his downed space craft or build a new one from local parts, Reith has need of money, so he and his two companions decide to risk the Dirdir hunting preserve. The Dirdir, the most violent and predatory of Tschai's alien species, indulge their compulsion to hunt by allowing humans to search for '"sequins" (the local unit of currency) on their hunting grounds, where apparently money grows naturally. The humans may keep any sequins they find, but the catch is that they will themselves be hunted by the avid Dirdir until they can escape from the preserve. When the Dirdir hunt down and kill the humans, they keep the sequins, allowing them to indulge their predatory natures while at the same time adding to their personal fortunes. Humans greedy or desperate for cash often accept this devil's bargain. Reith, lacking the slave mentality of the other humans on Tschai, has a different idea: he reasons that the best place to obtain sequins would be from the Dirdir themselves, who will have collected them from all the humans they have managed to catch. Reith's plan is that he and his companions will go into the preserve posing as normal prey, but then they will attempt to ambush and rob the Dirdir, thus building up their cache of sequins very quickly.
All of this is presented in Vance's usual subtle and elegant prose. Once again, the story is exciting and imaginative. There are no weak links in this series.
