You do not need to love science fiction to love this book, but it might help. John Scalzi is just as funny as Buckley, but instead of the political subtext, this books uses a science fiction/entertainment subtext. They are funny, sharply political (against all sides) and almost always pull me out of reading funks. There’s just one problem: They’re hideously ugly and they smell like rotting fish) reminded me of a Christopher Buckley novel.
Reading the description (The space-faring Yherajk have come to Earth to meet us and to begin humanity’s first interstellar friendship. So Agent to the Stars ended up as one of the picks. And I needed to buy four audiobooks at once to get a $10 coupon from Audible. I was a bit burned out on my non-fiction books.
Summary: Comedy about an alien race that contacts a Hollywood agent about introducing them to the planet earth. Reposting this 2012 review because the audiobook is Audible’s Deal of the day today and on sale for $2.95.
