Earth has discovered it is not alone in the universe. The aliens—pink,
shapeless, and peaceful—are very nice, but after a string of failed
diplomatic missions, they ask Earth to stop with the crazies and send
someone normal. In frustration, the UN devises a lottery to pick the next
ambassador.
Enter Rose Delancy, a Jersey waitress with a grudge against pretty much the
whole world. Rose is not happy about winning; she's not particularly happy
about anything. When she arrives on Unpronounceable—the planet having a
name she refuses to attempt saying—she is nothing but rude to the Blobs,
as she calls them, and they find it refreshing. She likes them; they like
her. She settles in and starts teaching the natives all about junk food,
movies, and sex. They show her a few things of their own involving the
transformation of matter, but Rose is only interested in how it applies to
sex.That is until she learns that she's been suckered to play the patsy for
an interstellar takeover by Earth...

Reviews
DiRende's irreverence is a delight. And her sarcastic wit comes through in
Rose's first-person narration. Your feisty little broad from Jersey knows
what's what. And a dose of Unpronounceable unreality might be just the
thing to get your own nasty attitude adjusted right. Capisce?
