Books like The Clockwork Traitor by Edward Elmer Smith


Trapped far from home in the colony of Kolokov, a robber holds a secret that could topple the succession of the Earth Empire’s throne. He is immune to the fatal truth‑telling drug nitrobarb, but dies before revealing the traitors’ identities. Beside him, brilliant double agents Jules and Yvette D'Alembert—known for lightning reflexes and super‑strength—team up with the rest of the D'Alembert lineage. Together they unravel a far‑reaching conspiracy that poses a time‑bomb risk to the Princess’s life and the political control of Earth, the galaxy’s most populated sector.
