Starter Villain

Quick and smooth read by an author I've long wanted to try out; perhaps a bit too slick for me but then I do have a prefence for somewhat more texture. Dashes of Bondesque conspiracy, violence, and sci-fi, tempered by fun and occasionally toching interactions between the well-meaning and decent main character and various mammals with agendas of their own. The story's take on social and animal issues greatly contributed to my enjoyment. I look forward to reading more of Scalzi' work.
