About the Book

An alien landing suddenly changes successful CEO Johnson Mukerjii's perfect life. His company is now worthless, and his lovely wife is now his lovely ex, taking every penny of liquid assets with her. Johnson's only hope to reclaim his life is to rebuild his connections with a strange science fiction writer whom the aliens seem to like...and to find a product that the aliens will buy.

About the Author :
Greg Costikyan is a professional game designer who has won the Origins Awards, the most prestigious English-language award for non-digital games, five times. His novels for Tor include the comic "First Contract," two books in a light series of fantasy adventure, and "By The Sword," a heroic fantasy. He was born and brought up in in New York City, and his passionate love for New York is reflected in both his fiction and his nonfiction.

Review :
"One of the year's ten best"--"The San Francisco Chronicle" "Targets the global economy and the world's infatuation with high-tech gadgets in a free-wheeling science fiction comedy."--"Library Journal" "Since the pioneering efforts of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, science fiction has provided a universe of ideas about what out neighbors in space might be like..."First Contract "offers a new hypothesis--its aliens are strikingly similar to, well, used care salesmen....Lampoons everything from man's search for life in the distant corners of the universe to venture capitalist and the volatile nature of the stock-market."--"Pittsburgh Tribune-Review"
