A review by jameseckman
Agent of Vega by James H. Schmitz
3.0
A set of four related short stories from the late 40's, early 50's. They also might be the first hard SF stories with female protagonists. I haven't found references to any earlier ones and I can't recall reading any! There's even one story that passes the Bechtel test and another that's rescue the prince dude.
Nowadays each of these would be their own book, and indeed later when Schmitz expanded on the theme of female secret agents with PSI powers, the stories were much longer. Has strong female characters, damsels and guys!!! in distress and paternalism. Still a good read, it's aged well.
