OK guys, you're my last resort on this one. A long, long time ago I read a short story by Algis Budrys named, I think, Shadow on the Stars. It was about a mercenary military genius hired by an alien empire, who ended up being a human in disguise. Sounds sort of dumb, but I actually ended up liking it a lot. It read as if it was part of a larger series. IIRC, the ending was something like "And all roads now led to Earth. To wily, scheming Earth. The die had been cast." Which sure reads like a lead-in to a series to me. Does anyone else on this list have any idea what I'm talking about? Does this sound familiar? Was it part of a series? Have I, in fact, lost my mind (note that the answer to this question is not necessarily related to the previous ones)?
