This humorous scifi political intrigue book in the style of Douglas Adams revolves around Harry Creek's attempts to find and protect a specific breed of sheep in order to keep relationships between Earth and a lizard-type species of alien known as the Nidu from dissolving into chaos. The characterizations are all strong and visual, whether the character is seen for a few pages or throughout the book. Action sequences are creative and well-written, utilizing both real-world fighting styles and scifi gadgetry. The story is intensely witty and the protagonist of Harry Creek is incredibly likable. I do wish the first chapter had featured him instead of the start of the political intrigue, but I suppose it was necessary to show the impetus for the whole thing. Overall, it's a highly witty book lovers of scifi are sure to enjoy.
