eBook Description: The Sasnak, Earth's first aliens have arrived. They're generous and friendly, maybe a little too friendly. Despite having different internal anatomy, on the outside they look pretty human (once you get past the pale blue skin). And they really like humans. Members of the Sasnak delegation love traveling and dining out with Earth's elite: politicians, poet laureates, film stars. Unfortunately, they're also routinely choking during meals in some of our best restaurants, requiring help in clearing their obstructed air passages. Except, physiologically, the Sasnak are incapable of choking. It's all an act. Something else is going on, something ... disquieting and more than a little perverse.

The Sasnakian gasped; it lurched to its feet with a great flailing of arms and writhing of its upper body. It staggered away from our table and knocked over several of the scrolled high-backed chairs which were a hallmark of this posh and exclusive restaurant. The other diners at the table--five of us, humans all--likewise stood up. They watched in surprise and confusion, and gestured helplessly in the long space of the moment. I stood as well, troubled by the scene but for different reasons.
