Reprint of the classic Ace Double D-315, with different covers. Six Worlds Yonder Stories in this collection: The Waitabits Tieline Top Secret Nothing New Into Your Tent I'll Creep Diabologic The Space Willies An Earthman's tongue is his deadliest weapon There was a common understanding in the Space Navy that scout-pilots were a breed apart—cocksure, reckless, and slightly nuts. But it was also understood that when a really dangerous job had to be done, a scout-pilot was the man to do it. So for John Leeming, a couple of months of dodging death in a one-man ship, zipping in and out of the enemy Combine's rearguard, was just another one of those jobs. And there was no man in the Universe more surprised than Leeming when his heretofore indestructible ship just gave up the ghost smack in the middle of a Combine-held prison planet! It was then that the spirit of the Scout Corps had its chance to shine. With self-confidence as his only weapon, Leeming had only two choices: give in to the enemy and be captured...or quick-talk them into a real case of THE SPACE WILLIE!
