A Wizard in Bedlam
Author: Christopher Stasheff
 
Melange was a successful planetary colony - for the very rich. Its population - except for the aristocracy - consisted of miserable serfs and perpetual servants. What was worse, they were all identical. For the underlings were clones - living replicas of the faithful few that had been brought along to serve the masters.
Dirk Dulaine had started life as one of them, but he had been taken offplanet and trained to be a troublemaker. His task was to become the Robespierre of the Melange Revolution, if that was possible.
But it wasn't so easy - not when the population had been bred to behave like programmed mechanisms.
Dirk's efforts and his encounters on his home world have the spark and zest that made Stasheff's novels The Warlock in Spite of Himself and King Kobold the classics they have become.
