About this listen
Life on Earth is good. Disease is checked, hunger ended, and war and suffering abolished, with liberty and justice and a high standard of living for all. But Paul Formain, a strangely gifted young engineer, doesn't believe a word of it. So he comes to Walter Blunt's Chantry Guild, whose motto is "Destruct!" and whose stated goal is the end of civilization. There are Alternate Laws at work in the world, says the Chantry Guild; Walter Blunt has pledged his life to them, and to the principle of destruction as a positive force. After centuries of hope and progress, and the triumph of science, something strange is happening to mankind. And whatever it is, it's going to be big.

Some of the ideas explained are fairly complex. The narrator keeps a rapid pace throughout the book, presumably to keep the listener interested, but that didn’t work for me. I struggled with the accent and tone. It was dry and flat. There was little time to absorb details before the next scene was relentlessly upon you.
Previously after reading through the Dorsai Childe Cycle I read Necromancer and it helped me to understand how the splinter cultures came about. As Paul Formain (apt name btw) finds himself the stage is set for Tactics of Mistake. It’s a short mystery tale. I enjoyed it as part of a whole rather than as a story in its own right.
Rapid delivery of complex story
