The aliens are here ... and they want municipal services!

Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself.

And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

It's Parks and Recreation meets the Federation of Planets in this fast and funny audio exclusive by Hugo Award winner and Audible best seller John Scalzi.

This was a delightful read! I enjoyed the interactions between the characters, and there were plenty of funny moments that made me smile. The ending was thrilling and left me satisfied. The story was the perfect length, with just enough character development to make me care about the outcome. Amber Benson did a fantastic job narrating—I’m excited to listen to more of her work in the future. Overall this is a charming and engaging short story!

Great little story and performed extremely well. Honestly I could see this being the basis for a chill book series or for an episodic show. It’s awesome to see a writer create several interesting characters that I’d actually want to get to know more in such a short story.

Love it!!
