| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "The Risk Profession" by Donald E. Westlake is a science fiction novel written during the early 1960s. The narrative revolves around the world of space exploration and insurance, focusing on a claims investigator's journey through the complexities of a unique retirement plan for asteroid prospectors. The story highlights themes of risk and morality in a futuristic setting filled with dangerous work environments. The plot follows Ged Stanton, a claims investigator for a company that provides retirement plans to "uninsurables," like asteroid prospectors. When Ged is assigned to investigate the suspicious death of Jafe McCann, who died shortly after potentially striking it rich, he encounters his partner, Ab Karpin. As Ged digs deeper, he uncovers inconsistencies in Karpin's story regarding McCann's death and a cash-return form submitted posthumously. Throughout his investigation, Ged navigates the treacherous social conditions of the asteroid belt, leading to revelations about greed, identity theft, and ultimately, murder. The story culminates in a twist that unveils the true nature of McCann and Karpin's partnership, ultimately resulting in Ged turning the tables on those involved, showcasing both his wit and resolve.
