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.

I want so much more

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.

Excellent and energetic voice acting

A lively, humorous and wildly imaginative snack of a tale that left me feeling satisfied, yet longing for more.

a delightful little caper

Listened to this in the Bermuda triangle week between xmas and new year, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Short, but sweet and funny. I wish I worked with a crew that fun!

Great fun and wonderfully voice

I really enjoyed the story - while a simple tale it was with sufficient depth and texture to avoid being other than engaging - it had underlying themes of how we might better live in harmony with those different to us presented without being sanctimonious. The voice actor was wonderful and brought the story to life. Fantastic fun!

Familiar & light

A quick, simple story. Not too dissimilar to ‘Agent to the Stars’. Will be interesting to see what other stories come out of the Third District.
