The Android's Dream

<p><b>From <i>New York Times</i> bestseller and Hugo Award-winner John Scalzi, a wild-and-woolly caper novel of interstellar diplomacy</b><br><br>A human diplomat creates an interstellar incident when he kills an alien diplomat in a most . . . unusual . . . way. To avoid war, Earth's government must find an equally unusual object: a type of sheep ("The Android's Dream"), used in the alien race's coronation ceremony.<br><br>To find the sheep, the government turns to Harry Creek, ex-cop, war hero and hacker extraordinare, who, with the help of a childhood friend turned artificial intelligence, scours the earth looking for the rare creature. <br>But there are others with plans for the sheep as well. Mercenaries employed by the military. Adherents of a secret religion based on the writings of a 21st century SF author. And alien races, eager to start a revolution on their home world and a war on Earth.<br><br>To keep our planet from being enslaved, Harry will have to pull off a grand diplomatic coup, a gambit that will take him from the halls of power to the lava-strewn battlefields of alien worlds. There's only one chance to get it right, to save the life of the sheep—and to protect the future of humanity.<br><br><br><b>Other Tor Books</b><br><i><b>The Android’s Dream</b></i><br><i>Agent to the Stars</i><br><i>Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded</i><br><i>Fuzzy Nation</i><br><i>Redshirts</i><br><br>1. <i>Lock In</i><br>2. <i>Head On<br></i><br><b>The Interdepency Sequence<br></b>1. <i>The Collapsing Empire</i><br>2. <i>The Consuming Fire</i><br><br><b>Old Man's War Series</b><br>1. <i>Old Man’s War</i><br>2. <i>The Ghost Brigades</i><br>3. <i>The Last Colony</i><br>4. <i>Zoe’s Tale</i><br>5. <i>The Human Division</i><br>6. <i>The End of All Things </i></p>
