WASP
Book ID/图书代码： 07861204B08770
English Summary/英文概要： Set in an unspecified time in the future, the plot centers on protagonist James Mowry and an inter-planetary war between humans (collectively referred to as "Terrans") and the Sirians (collectively referred to as the Sirian Empire, from Sirius). The war has been in effect for nearly a year as the story begins. The Terrans, while technologically more advanced in most respects to the Sirians, are outnumbered and out-gunned by a factor of approximately twelve-to-one. The Sirians are a humanoid species that share many of the same physical characteristics as their Terran enemies. Some of the more noticeable differences are their purple-faced complexions, pinned-back ears, and a bow-legged gait.
The novel begins by introducing James Mowry as he is being recruited by the Terran government to infiltrate enemy lines; to become a "wasp," in the sense portrayed in the opening passages of the novel. After extensive linguistic and cultural training and surgery designed to make him appear to be Sirian, he is sent to the Sirian outpost world of Jaimec to begin his mission.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Terrans和Sirians之间的战争已持续了一年多的时间，
Terran政府决定派James Mowry潜入敌人内部执行任务，
经过培训和整容过的James Mowry能成功完成任务，平安归来吗？
在Terrans向Sirians发起的最后一场战役中，James能够被Terrans认出，免去杀身之祸吗? 小说的背景设置在未来某个不确定的时间段，主要讲述了主人公James Mowry的故事以及发生在Terrans(指人类)与Sirianas（指来自天狼星的帝国的人们）之间的星际战争。从小说的开头我们便可知这场战争已持续有将近一年时间了。尽管Terrans的科技要比Sirianas先进得多，但在人数和装备上要远远落后于他们。
Sirians具有人类的特征，在很多方面与他们的敌人Terran具有相似之处。最大的区别在于Sirians有紫色的脸颊，尖锐向后的耳朵，以及罗圈型步态。
小说一开始，我们就了解到Terran政府雇佣James Mowry来打入敌人内部，成为“Wasp”。经过一系列语言和文化方面的强化训练，并接受整容成为一个十足的Sirian后，James Mowry被遣送往Sirian的前哨基地Jaimec执行任务。(YM)
