The latter deals with the adventures of a cynical spacefaring diplomat who constantly has to overcome the red-tape-infused failures of people with names like Ambassador Grossblunder. The Retief stories were greatly influenced by Laumer's earlier career in the US Foreign Service. In an interview with Paul Walker of <i>Luna Monthly</i>, Laumer stated, "I had no shortage of iniquitous memories of the Foreign Service." </p><p>Laumer's other adventures often included the subjects of time travel and alternate worlds, such as found in <i>A Trace of Memory</i>, <i>Dinosaur Beach</i> and the Imperium series. </p><p>Four of his shorter works received <a href="/wiki/Hugo_Award" title="Hugo Award">Hugo</a> or <a href="/wiki/Nebula_Award" title="Nebula Award">Nebula Award</a> nominations ("In the Queue" was nominated for both), and <i>A Plague of Demons</i> (1965) received a nomination for the <a href="/wiki/Nebula_Award_for_Best_Novel" title="Nebula Award for Best Novel">Nebula Award for Best Novel</a> in 1966. </p><p>During his peak years of 1959–1971, Laumer was a prolific science fiction writer.

As a result, he was unable to write for a few years.
