Welcome to the Universe Martin Tabat

What do a meteorite, nail polish, the final battle of a galactic war, pounding one's Ballwangt in honor of the Inverted Pisht, and a restaurant so exclusive that no one is important enough to eat there all have in common? The answer is in this sequel to Welcome to the Galaxy. Because of the accidental discovery of immunity to the effects of the deadly toxin, Flock, Humanity is now living and building stardrive engines on Mars. But the lobster-like Utaalks, incensed at losing their manufacturing monopoly, scheme to sabotage the Human factory. Meanwhile, a secret military operation has been dispatched from Earth to demonstrate the effectiveness of Flock as a weapon of mass destruction. If the test is successful, humans will hold the key to claim dominion over the entire galaxy. The result of the mission is the chance meeting of Humans with their long lost cousins, the Smez, the original inhabitants of Mars.
