Book Description
======
The space-faring Yherajk have come to Earth to meet us and to begin
humanityÆs first interstellar friendship. ThereÆs just one problem:
TheyÆre hideously ugly and they smell like rotting fish.
So getting humanityÆs trust is a challenge. The Yherajk need someone
who can help them close the deal.
Enter Thomas Stein, who knows something about closing deals. HeÆs one
of HollywoodÆs hottest young agents. But although Stein may have just
concluded the biggest deal of his career, itÆs quite another thing to
negotiate for an entire alien race. To earn his percentage this time,
heÆs going to need all the smarts, skills, and wits he can muster.
In this slick, lightweight SF yarn from Scalzi (Old Man’s War), Thomas
Stein, a hot young Hollywood agent, has just negotiated a multimillion-dollar
deal for his friend, starlet Michelle Beck, when his boss, Carl Lupo,
foists a space alien called Joshua on him. Joshua and his people, the
Yherajk, are intelligent, gelatinous, shape-shifting blobs that communicate
telepathically and by sharing odors. They’ve been monitoring Earth’s
TV broadcasts and realize that before they can make first contact, they’ll
have to deal with their image problem. Tom takes on the job of making
the friendly, odiferous creatures palatable to humanity, while keeping
Michelle and the rest of his other acting clients happy. Several entertaining
trips to the aliens’ spaceship enliven the predictable plot.
Review
ôWith 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.ö-
–Booklist on Agent to the Stars
ôIf Stephen King were to try his hand at science fiction, heÆd be lucky
to be half as entertaining as John Scalzi.ö
