Status Updates From Antimatter Blues (Mickey7, #2)

The process of interacting with and negotiating with an alien species could be so interesting, if only the emphasis were on the negotiations! Instead it's mainly people complaining that it's taking too long and it would be better just to start shooting.

But I have to accept that what I want from this book is somewhat contradictory: I really appreciate that it's easy to read, even if that comes at the cost of depth.
