Announcing CONSTITUENT SERVICE by John Scalzi

May 12

It’s a close encounter of the municipal kind in Constituent Service, John Scalzi’s new novella.

The aliens have come to earth...and a lot of them live in the Third District, the city’s only alien-majority neighborhood. They work, live, shop and sing karaoke here, just like anyone else would. Ashley Perrin, right out of college, has gotten a job as the community liaison for the third district’s city councilman, and is learning very quickly that even if extraterrestrials are ordinary folks, their problems and concerns are, shall we say, pretty unique ones. Her first week will involve parades, sewer systems, con women and a chicken with an eye for trouble. It’s more than Ashley expected...but she’s ready to help where she can. 

It’s a fast, funny novella from the Hugo-winning author of Redshirts and The Kaiju Preservation Society. Come visit the Third District!
