Second Coming

Hank Jones isnt your typical alien abductee. There were no tractor beams probes or government conspiracies involved-no Hank met his kidnappers at a bar. They werent exactly hard to miss-Elvis a seven-foot tall Elvis clone and Lawrence a grounded European gent were the only UCLA supporters in a bar full of Hoosiers.Still Hank has nothing better to do. Its spring break theres a pile of freshman essays on his desk and his thesis is going nowhere. Worse his ex is sleeping with his dissertation director. He needs a friend and these aliens will do.Besides Elvis and Lawrence could really use a hand-they havent visited Earth since the 1950s and now theyre lost in Indiana not realizing that things have changed. They need to get to Washington: if they dont warn the president about a coming nuclear arms race the planet will be destroyed. But the American public dont seem too worried. Aliens? And one of them looks like Elvis? Facebook and Twitter are aflame. Oprah and The Tonight Show hang on the phone. The apocalypse will have to wait.Second Coming is the hilarious new novel by D.B. Borton author of the Cat Caliban and Gilda Liberty series. Taking aim at consumerism the cult of celebrity and the self-destructiveness of humanity it nonetheless finds joy in the pleasures of basketball dogs and rock n roll.
