To keep the cast of named characters small, it definitely feels like Scalzi very deliberately put them in, even if it feels like others would be more likely to there instead. But, again, this isn’t a serious type of story, so I don’t feel put off by this obvious stepping in of the author to orchestrate people’s placement for the story to work.
The main characters are fun and the antagonist characters are fun to hate.
