Read Download
ā€œImagine Gomer Pyle as a scathing indictment of the military patriarchal industrial complex but with way more aliens and laser-inflicted explosions than the sitcom managed to achieve. Starring Brad Pitt as Gomer, directed by Sam Raimi.ā€
ZZ Claybourne, author of ā€œBreath, Warmth, and Dreamā€
 
Lance Powell wants his dad back. Instead, he finds an alien blaster in the California desert.
You canā€™t blame the GalactiCops. The senior officer spent his previous life as a burrito influencer. The junior is so green, he still thinks cops are heroes. No wonder they left an escaped convictā€™s makeshift weapon where a dumb Earth kid could find it.
Lance wants to be worthy of California dreaming. His whole dead-end town calls him a loser.
Heā€™s spending his last high school summer thinking, and thatā€™s not how we do things in Saint Reaganā€™s America. He knows thereā€™s a better way but the valley library doesnā€™t fill its closet, the TVā€™s edgiest show is Leave It To Beaver, and the Reverend Mekratraegā€™s radio station dedicates itself to praising Greedy Jesus. Heā€™s got an awesome girlfriend, but old John Wayne matinees donā€™t teach you a damn thing about how to treat a woman. Fortunately, that escaped alien convict still haunts Lanceā€™s blaster and heā€™s got all kinds of advice.
Lance needs to be a hero in the worst way. The worst way waits with open arms.
If the GalactiCops donā€™t recover the blaster, the Swordian League for Responsible Human Ranching will have their hides. The Man In Black (just the one, government cutbacks after all) who deals with alien incursions knows that saving the world means that tomorrow is just like today. And if the school jerk doesnā€™t stop leaning on his girl, Lance will teach him a lesson with more than fistsā€¦
Aliens! Explosions! The fate of the world, and the power of love.
Lucas brings you a blast-from-the-past outrageous sci-fi romp alchemized from the worst of ā€˜70s cinema, but with a way better soundtrack
