Summary: "Advance Agent" by Christopher Anvil is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around Dan Redman, an agent tasked with infiltrating the planet Porcys, which presents unique challenges and cultural intricacies as he investigates the local inhabitants and their practices surrounding population control and commerce. Set against a backdrop of intergalactic negotiations, the novel explores themes of identity, survival, and the complexities of alien societies. The narrative follows Dan as he is transformed physically and psychologically to blend in with the powerful Porcyns, who are physically strong and possess a societal system revolving around strict population control mechanisms. As Dan navigates the planet's strange customs, including the enigmatic "sweepers" that maintain order, he gathers intelligence on how the Porcyns manage their population without resorting to war or starvation. Amid his investigation, he discovers that the Porcyns' methods could lead to unforeseen consequences as rival organizations seek to exploit their resources. The story escalates into a climax where Dan's quick thinking is crucial in averting chaos as he engages in a power struggle with agents from a competing galactic organization. Ultimately, "Advance Agent" presents a captivating mix of intrigue and humor as Dan learns the value of identity and truth in a world governed by unique rules and customs.
