    The Dosadi Experiment (ConSentiency, volume 2) by Frank Herbert

    Bureau of Sabotage agent Jorj X. McKie is assigned a legal and
    ethical trap: a planet of victims, who, whether rescued or left
    to their impending doom, present a danger to the ConSentiency.

    IIRC, two of the four volumes were entertaining short stories with
    volume one of the ConSentiency, Whipping Star, almost unreadable.
    However, for me the Dosadi Experiment was a brilliant five star read as
    I thoroughly enjoyed the complicated politics and complex plot.
