Tom Stein is a Hollywood agent with a single bikini babe star along with a bunch of "talent" and he handles them well. They get work. He gets his ten percent. His boss calls him in for a meeting and his client list suddenly changes. Just how do you introduce friendly mobile "tuna Jell-O" aliens to humans so the humans won't run screaming from the room? And how do you do it while continuing to juggle your client list so nobody knows what you are actually working on? Scalzi handles the mixture of humor and serious interpersonal and inter-species issues with style and good dialog. The full text of this novel is available on the Web: http://www.scalzi.com/agent/ in Web page (HTML) format which makes it easy to read on a computer, but in its introduction, we get this option: "Legal Notes: This work is copyrighted by John Scalzi. The novel is freely given and may be freely distributed on a non-commercial basis, in whatever electronic format you please, as long as the work remains intact and unaltered and is attributed to me, John Scalzi." It was relatively easy to to take the text and put it through the wonderful ebook management program Calibre to convert it into epub format so I could read it on my Nook reader. Thanks to John Scalzi for the chance to read this book in such a convenient way.
