Synopsis
The space-faring Yherajk have come to Earth to meet us and to begin humanity s first interstellar friendship. There s just one problem: they re hideously ugly and they smell like rotting fish.
So getting humanity s trust is a challenge. The Yherajk need someone to help them close the deal.
Enter Thomas Stein, who knows something about closing deals. He s one of Hollywood s hottest young agents. But although Stein may have just concluded the biggest deal of his career, it s quite another thing to negotiate for an entire alien race. To earn his percentage this time, he s going to need all the smarts, skills, and wits he can muster.
"With a plot that starts out as the rough life of a young agent in Hollywood and rapidly metamorphoses into B-movie territory as a remarkably intelligent first-contact yarn, this book is absurd, funny, and satirically perceptive. Booklist
