| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Saline Solution" by Keith Laumer is a science fiction novel probably written in the early 1960s. The story revolves around Terrestrial Vice-Consul Retief, who navigates the ethically murky waters of interstellar mining claims and corporate interests in a space colony. The book likely explores themes of bureaucracy, corporate greed, and the often absurd nature of diplomatic relations in a futuristic setting. In "Saline Solution," Retief finds himself embroiled in a conflict between a small mining company and the powerful General Minerals, represented by the unscrupulous executive, Leatherwell. As Retief attempts to serve an injunction against the larger corporation's dubious activities, he uncovers an elaborate scheme involving false claims and manipulated deposits. The story unfolds through a blend of tense negotiations and comedic dialogue as Retief uses his wits and diplomatic skills to protect the rights of the miners. Ultimately, the plot culminates in a clever twist that undermines the ruthless tactics of General Minerals, showcasing Retief's resourcefulness and ethics in the face of corporate malfeasance.
