BOOK 21: BREAKING VERY BAD
by Walter Knight
Fiction: Science Fiction Military Humor
In the twenty-first installment
of this preposterous science fiction series, Colonel Joey R. Czerinski has his
hands full trying to keep the drug trade and the Arthropodan spider commander
under control on planet New Colorado. Stationed at the New Gobi Desert, the
Legion battalion suffers hot conditions, but things heat up even more when Major
Manny Lopez uses the time machine to bring two grade-A cookers from the past to
concoct a special recipe of blue powder to be distributed on New Colorado.
Privates Whyte and Pink, with
new identities and a new lease on life, are now working for Lopez and his CIA
buddies – and another silent partner who will remain unnamed. As usual,
Czerinski is unaware and ineffectual in handling the situation, even when God
gets involved!
With one crisis averted, another
always takes its place, and thermonuclear war looms on the horizon, but
Czerinski’s attention is focused elsewhere. Can he keep it together long enough
to make another successful wager on football? His motto has always been, ‘If
you can’t handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.’ And get out he does when
things get really hot in New Gobi City. Time for a little R&R far, far
away, in the past. Patton for President, anyone? The laughs continue to the bitter
end of defeat.
