Time for the next book discussion! Alien Diplomacy is the fifth Alien novel from Gini Koch. One of the things I like about this series (I've read up to book four) is that the world changes from book to book, so it feels alive rather than static. The relationship between the two main character continues and expands from book to book, rather than just cycling back and forth like some urban fantasy relationships. Here's the cover and description! Who's already devoured this one?
Cover Copy: Being newlyweds and new parents is challenging enough. But nothing's ever easy for Jeff and Kitty Katt-Martini, particularly not when they have to switch from being super-being exterminators and Commanders in Centaurion Division to mastering the political landscape as the new heads of American Centaurion's Diplomatic Corps.
Kitty's brand of diplomacy and lobbying isn't quite as smooth as Jeff's--Washington parties, lobbyists of all stripes, and politicians from all states and countries present challenges a well-stocked iPod and quirky sense of humor aren't always up to handling. But when a shadowy assassination plot and a new set of anti-alien conspirators are identified, Kitty's the diplomat for the job--in between "Mommy and Me," "Diplomacy for Beginners," and the dreaded "Washington Wife" classes.
As explosions, assassination attempts, and murders pile up, the question shifts from "who's the target" to "will we all survive to see next week"?
Armed with only their wits, and dressed to kill, it's up to Kitty and the Diplomatic Corps to stop the bad guys from unleashing mayhem on all the world's leaders. But will Kitty trust the right people, at the right times, or will her own way prove deadly--not just to her, but to her daughter, Jamie? |
