Summary "Heist Job on Thizar" by Randall Garrett is a science fiction novel written during the mid-20th century. The book revolves around Anson Drake, a sharp, resourceful thief on an alien planet where he seeks to steal a priceless necklace from a corrupt financier, Viron Belgezad, amid the backdrop of a royal coronation. The story combines elements of heist tales with futuristic settings, showcasing both high-stakes tension and clever plotting. The narrative follows Anson Drake as he navigates the dangers of the opulent planet Thizar, where he must outsmart local criminals and secure the Necklace of Algol, a gem of immense value. Throughout the story, Drake encounters various characters, including Jomis Dobigel, a thug working for Belgezad, and Norma Knight, a notorious jewel thief who proposes a partnership for the heist. As they concoct an elaborate plan to steal the necklace during the coronation festivities, Drake also employs cunning strategies to evade capture by the police and double-cross Belgezad. In a twist ending, he successfully outsmarts both the law and his adversaries, ensuring that the necklace is safely delivered to his other location before making his escape. The interplay of deception and sharp wit keeps the reader engaged in this thrilling caper. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
