it was clever and 4th-wall zany hilarious at times but the characters weren't very interesting and the story was excessively fleshed out into narration. a good fun read but not a lot there.
Lawyer Nick Carter thought he had problems - and then two aliens walked into his office. It seems the universe loves Terran pop music - and in their hunger for material, have committed copyright violations of literally galactic proportions.
