When a hideously ugly, fish-smelling alien race arrives on Earth seeking friendship, humanity isn't exactly rolling out the welcome mat. Enter Thomas Stein, a hotshot Hollywood agent tasked with the impossible: making the Yherajk palatable to the public. Stein has closed big deals before, but negotiating for an entire alien species will test all his wit and skill. Can he broker humanity's first interstellar friendship and earn his commission?
