BOOK 19: ATM
Walter Knight
Fiction: Science Fiction, Military, Humorous
In the nineteenth installment of
this super-sillious science fiction series, the CIA continues to plot and
scheme, enlisting wary partner legionnaire Manny Lopez. The Arthropodan
commander of planet New Colorado’s New Gobi Desert spider troops is included
only by default and kept in the dark about ‘need to know’ details – but there’s
bound to be some time travel involved. Their ambitious secret plan to build up
troops for the coming scourge of space locusts involves a Legion recruitment
ATM that achieves the ultimate in sentience and mobility in the form of an
artificial human being. Luckily, Colonel Joey R. Czerinski knows nothing about
any of it, or he’d surely screw up everything.
As Private Atm tries to blend in
with surrounding humans, it becomes clear even to Czerinski that the private is
a little ‘different.’ And that’s saying something, considering how peculiar
Privates Krueger and Knight are. But Czerinski blithely assumes it can all be
chalked up to good old-fashioned stupidity. However, even the spider commander
realizes there’s something more to Private Atm than meets the eye, and he’s
determined to find out what it is.
The naughty camel Hargundu and
even the Grim Reaper make cameo appearances as the Legion continues with its
old tricks under Czerinski’s bumbling command. A native spider population is
culturally contaminated, and much destruction and ado takes place over a new
casino with suspected uranium deposits underneath. The humans and spiders clash
with their usual ‘up yours’ attitude, and the perpetual preposterousness
continues!
