The writing of Jack Vance is like macaroni art created by Picasso at once playful artistic and thought provokingHis 1969 novel Servants of the Wankhe takes over immediately after the events covered in City of the Chasch and continues his Tschai series published all together as Planet of AdventureProtagonist Adam Reith is still marooned on the alien planet Tschai still traveling with his friends Traz Onmale and Anacho and still trying to figure out a way to get back home This time he and his troupe of misfits goes after an alien spaceship to fly back to EarthThis episode follows the group s visit to the home of uppity female Ylin Ylan and a closer look at the WankheVance has described Tschai as being populated by a diverse set of humans hybrids and four alien races all or less hostile to each other and the humans There are the Chasch the Wankhe the Dirdir and the Pnume Whereas the first book dealt primarily with one race the reptilian Chasch divided into three main groups Old Chasch the Blue Chasch and the barbarian Green Chasch this second book is about the Wankhe an amphibious raceInterestingly according to an article in Wikipedia Vance replaced Wankh with Wannek throughout the text in later editions Vance was convinced to change the name after learning of the meaning of the word wank in British and Commonwealth slang Throughout my earlier pre change text I of course smirked freuently in a sophomoric and low brow pass at humor and yelled out loud Wankers Throw in a bawdy limerick and I d be hookedAnyway maybe the most intriguing part to Vance s Tschai vision is that humans on Tschai brought to the planet millennia earlier after having been brought from pre historic Earth are grouped into sub races below their master race So there are Pnumekin Chaschmen Dirdirmen and Wankhmen who follow and resemble their alien patrons due to selective breeding surgery and the desire of the humans to emulate their respective masters uoting again WikipediaThis one is cerebral and less action packed than the first book and reminded me of Frank Herbert s The Dosadi Experiment Vance fills this entertaining tale with intrigue and palace maneuvering alongside hidden meanings similar in design and setting with his 1976 novel Maske ThaeryMore good fun from a man who knew how to throw down a SFF gem and the train kept a rollin on past and on to book 3 The Dirdir
