About this book
A deliberately offensive act at a diplomatic meeting leaves Earth facing a dangerous dispute with the Nidu, an alien species whose power makes reconciliation essential. The solution appears to depend on finding a rare genetically engineered sheep required for a succession ceremony. Harry Creek, a government employee with military experience and considerable technical ingenuity, receives the assignment. What follows involves competing political interests, artificial intelligence, religious maneuvering, and people who are not quite what they appear. Scalzi treats the elaborate predicament with irreverent humor and clear, brisk prose, turning an absurd diplomatic problem into a substantial adventure about power, loyalty, and personhood.
