Lydia works as translator for the Logi cultural attaché to Earth. They work well together, even if the act of translating his thoughts into English makes her somewhat wobbly on her feet.

She's not the agency's best translator, but what else is she going to do? She has no qualifications and no discernible talent in any other field.

So when tragedy strikes and Lydia finds herself at the center of an intergalactic incident, her future employment prospects look dire-that is, if she can keep herself out of jail!

But Lydia soon discovers that help can appear from the most unexpected source.

Reviews for Drunk on All Your Strange New Words

Eddie Robson is an exciting new fixture in British SFF, with a perspective that's charming, humane and witty. He's going to be around a long time. Read him now before you have to start lying about having done so. --Paul Cornell A hell of a lot of fun for fans of locked room mysteries and near future sci-fi. --Gareth L. Powell Drunk on all Your Strange New Words is a twisted murder investigation through a post-contact future full of world-building in fascinating detail. --Django Wexler The book packs in oodles of dry wit and droll self-mockery, the sort of profound and lacerating laughter that Robson's countrymen Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett perfected. --NPR on Hearts of Oak
