If you are looking for a book to get a male teen to read this is it. The book opens with trade negotiations between Earth and the Nidu being derailed when the Earth delegate farts the Nidu delegate to death (yeah, you read that right). But we can make it up to the Nidu all we have to do is deliver the Android's Dream.
Problem, it's a genetically altered sheep, that due to the Nidu's restrictive breeding agreements very few people raise, and the few that do are finding their flocks dead. Can the good guys find a sheep before the bad guys kill them all?
And what if it's not a sheep, what if a person has sheep DNA. You just have to love the dialogue
"I need you to connect me with Ben," Creek said. "Ben' as in my brother Ben," Brian said. "That's the one," Creek said. "Interesting," Brian said. " I don't suppose he knows about me." "I have to tell him that the sheep we're looking for is a woman who runs a pet store," Creek said."I think telling him his younger brother's been resurrected as a computer program might be a little much for one day.".
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Harry Creek computer geek extraordinaire has come up with the perfect 'artificial intelligence' by modeling the entire human brain (using the brain scan of his friend Brian who died at the Battle of Pajmhi).
The question is can Harry Creek keep his date alive long enough to convince her that she is 'part sheep'.

Just read this article and thought of you, although I am sure you have heard about it. Pet food scandal punishment : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6699441.stm
Thank you for passing the link along.
I find this whole mess incredibly sad. It seems like Zheng Xiaoyu is the scapegoat, so many other people were involved, that have yet to be punished, and honestly probably never will be.
Every time I read an article about how Menu Foods is losing money, I want to scream. Of course their customers no longer trust them. They knew months earlier then March that something was wrong but they still kept producing and selling their deadly product. But as far as I know no criminal charges have been filed against the people that knew the test cats and dogs were falling ill and dying and yet did nothing to prevent our pets from being from poisoned by their pet food.
