"The spacefaring 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 he smarts, skills, and wits he can muster."--Page 4 of cover.

Funny submitted by mowjac on August 28, 2020, 12:48pm This is a funny take on human "lookism", Hollywood and aliens. An enjoyable read, although Scalzi is not the most progressive writer of female characters.
