Basically a series of several short stories describing events/missions in the lifetime of a single spy/agent Otto Mcgavin.

With his mind altered he is forced to kill and cheat to protect the interests of Earth across many planets, while he himself is a gentle person at the start of the book.
He only remembers his 'sins' under hypnosis in the parts of the book bridging between stories.
Fairly bleak.....
