What a slog. The story that young ADF would have told as the first five chapters of a much more exciting book is now the first book of a trilogy. And since the book was published in 2004, I assert that young ADF is at least 15 years gone.
(This Chicago commodities trader is out camping in Califonia when some aliens kidnap him. He makes friends with a talking dog and two aliens; they escape captivity, and are rescued by an enlightened civilization which puts them up in nice hotel rooms until they all get bored. The end.)
