I vacillate on Scalzi; or rather, his writing vacillates into and out of things I like. I thought this one was enjoyable fluff. The Emperox books are I think his best (but weirdly I found the second one better than the first, which is unusual in a trilogy).
+1 on this one is enjoyable fluff, but nothing brilliant, and that there are otters you might like better. Though he does tend towards having at least some characters with snarky one-liners in most situations, and his general market pitch is "fairly interesting and well-written sci-fi, not notably deep".
