Джон Скальци: Agent to the Stars

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 who can 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.
