(More customer reviews)Did you ever see one of those news reports about the guys who live out in the country being abducted by aliens and telling a whole story about how they were probed and such? Well, this story could serve as an adendum to that with Chett and Harry, our two hillbilly buddies who discover aliens, zombies, and 4x4's from hell.
The story really starts out with our two hicks just trying to have a relaxed time out hunting and fishing, but they stumble on a tall, burqa wearin' hotty who doesn't speak English. From there they pull their sometime buddy and full time nerd Clay into the story as things get a little crazy when they see a 4x4 come climbing out of what was once a lake but which has been zapped out of existence. Soon the corrupt Sheriff, a couple of aliens in a banged up space craft and hundreds of zombies are involved.
Did I like this wacky tale? Lets just say I got a kick out of it. For an independently produced book it was well written with no real typos or other glitches that took away from the fun of it. Some of it seemed a bit adolescent (Amazon women from space who like to get naked every time the lights dim) but in a good natured, goofy sort of way. The aliens, named Roscoe and Earl, are almost like intergalactic moonshiners in a way. Uncle Crank was another oddball character. To me, the best way to describe this story was to imagine an old episode of the Dukes of Hazard...now drop some serious acid...and you got Fried Green Zombies...though I don't really think any of the zombies, except for the zombie chickens Uncle Crank had, came close to being fried.
If you are looking for an amusing zombie/alien tale then you might find this story to be right up your alley, though the zombies are not the biggest part of the story, except for the ones behind the wheel of the big truck that seems to come up out of the ground lookin' for revenge. Sure, there are plenty of rotting corpses but they are just one part of a pretty complicated story involving a whole lotta strange things going on. If you are looking for something scary, this is probably not your best bet, since the author keeps things pretty light throughout. But overall, this book was a hoot.

Chett and Harry are two recently unemployed construction workers on their way to a weekend of beer, Southern Comfort, and frog gigging at their musty-rusted 1970's RV parked at their favorite hunting camp when they stumble on Bob, the mysterious, busty, burqa-clad, non-English speaking beauty just standing in the middle of nowhere on the side of dusty Nine Mile Cutoff in rural Bovina, Mississippi.Then all hell breaks loose. Their favorite pond is missing. They're being chased by truck driving zombies, dirty cops, UFOs and other ne'er-do-wells. Someone stole Chett's jacked up Scottsdale four-by-four. Zombies are traipsing around their trailer, and crazy Uncle Crank is trying to feed them zombie chicken for dinner.Aided by a classic computer nerd, a crazy man wielding a frying pan, and a space babe who gets nekkid any time someone turns out the lights, follow Chett and Harry as they battle their way across the rural countryside and ultimately save the world.Why is their pond missing, and why did the Dodge of Death spring from the muddy crater left in its center? Who is Bob and why is she so good with shotguns? Why are they being chased by two really skinny, pale, bald, goatee-clad wierdos? What is the dirty county sheriff hiding? And will Chett and Harry ever make it out alive?
