From New York Times bestseller and Hugo Award-winner John Scalzi, Agent to the Stars is a brilliantly witty first-contact story unlike any other. Showbiz is about to go interstellarAs an ambitious young agent, Thomas Stein knows all about the art of the deal, even if his actors aren' t quite A-list material. But he' s about to receive some out-of-this-world clients - literally. The space-faring Yherajk have come to Earth to talk interstellar peace. One problem: they' re also hideous, and smell like rotting fish. For Stein, it' s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become the hottest name in Hollywood. Or on the planet. Yet it' s one thing to land a client' s blockbuster film role - and quite another to negotiate for an entire alien race. He' ll need every ounce of his charm, wit and wiles. But even with these considerable talents, can he really give the Yherajk the makeover they need to shine on the world' s stage? Praise for John Scalzi:' John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in SF today' - Joe Hill' Scalzi is one of the slickest writers that SF has ever produced' - Wall Street Journal
Thoughtful and down-to-Earth, Agent to the Stars is a thoroughly enjoyable work, reminiscent of Robert A. Heinlein or Spider Robinson * SFSite * [A] slick, light-weight SF yarn * Publishers Weekly * A pleasurable read * SFSignal * A first contact novel with a twist * SFcrowsnest * Scalzi continues to be almost insufferably good at his brand of fun but think-y sci-fi adventure -- Kirkus Reviews on The Collapsing Empire Quintessential Scalzi, with enough political commentary, social justice, pew-pew shoot-' em-up, space renegades, and underhanded maneuvering, that no reader will leave empty handed -- New York Journal of Books on The Consuming Fire Clever dialogue, fast-paced story and strong characters -- The Times on the Old Man' s War series
