This was the second Scalzi I read. (The first was Redshirts, which I loved because I am a Trekkie: The Next Generation.) Reading this book is when I began to adore Scalzi's sarcastic rhythm mixed with light narratives themes that ... in the end, are sneakily meaningful.
My friend Robb recommended Scalzi to me. At first, I said "meh, kinda weak." In fairness, Robb also recommended Schitt's Creek which I still don't find funny. But I should probably continue watching. Because over the years, I've learned ... Robb is always right.
(Sshhhh, don't tell Robb.)

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.
