Two good reads in one volume!
"Our Man in Space" is a combination SF/espionage thriller in which Earth, to relieve its population problems, schemes to enter the Galactic Empire, using an actor to carry out their plans. It's a fast moving spy story and very entertaining.
"Ultimatum" is, however, the better book. It describes a society like that of 1984, and the efforts of a small group to reform that society into one which serves man, not the other way around. The Hive (where survivors of the nuclear war live) is a nightmare totalitarian world where almost all activity is heavily regulated. Just plain frightening. You won't forget this book for a long time to come.
Recommended.
