The space-faring Yherajk have come to Earth to meet us and to begin humanity's first interstellar friendship. There's just one problem: they're hideously ugly and smell like rotting fish.
So getting humanity's trust is a challenge. The Yherajk need someone who can help them close the deal.

To earn his percentage this time, he's going to need all the smarts, skills, and wits he can muster.
