About this listen

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.

The story was a different kind of sci-fi than I am use to. Have enjoyed Scalzi before and was definitely not a let down. Great narration too 👍

Although I think such a short story is what works best here, I definitely want more stories. This was so much fun, everything was so well set up it was easy to see where the downfall was going to go from the start, I just didn't know how they would solve everything. Please, I want more stories from this world.

I want so much more

This is a fun short story that introduces a small cast of characters on a short misadventure. The story is good and I would love to have more stories in this series.
