The reason I'm so aroused about the book is because it has zombies. It's called "Indiana Jones and the Army of the Undead." Except, the undead probably aren't on Indy's side.
I don't want to give too much away, but from the first, it grabs you. Indy is trapped in a time portal that transports him onto the bridge of the Millennium Falcon, where he must navigate through the treacherous canyons at the mouth of Thor's Twins while being chased by Sean Connery! Hounded at every turn by the police, Indy leads them through a deadly game of cat-and-mouse in his Dodge Challenger R/T, stopping only once to make love to a beautiful naked girl on a motorcycle. When she tries to convince him to stay with her in a sprawling 78,000 square ft. mobile home, he tips his fedora and says "I gotta be in Frisco by three O'clock tomorrow afternoon". Then he kills her with a lightsaber. Is that cool, or what?
*Off-stage Voice* "No he doesn't! That stuff's not even in the book, you liar!"
Shut up, Steve. This is my blog, I'll write what I damn well please.
*Off-stage voice again, now whiny* "But that's not fay-yuh!"
Tough noogies. I told you the hammer would fall one day. Go eat some crawfish.
Okay, okay...The book isn't out yet. It won't be released until Sept.29, over two weeks from now. Tough to do a book review when you haven't read the book. I was only trying to help. Sue me.
Seriously, you can pre-order "Indiana Jones and the Army of the Undead" from Amazon HERE. It will set you back $7.99, paperback only. Balking at the price? Let me assure you, you get your money's worth with Perry. There are only a handful of authors I would endorse, and I've read enough Steve Perry to put my money where my mouth is.
Ungh. Seeing that phrase in print is a lot less effective than when spoken aloud.

8 bucks?!?
I passed up on a vintage Conan book Perry wrote because I didn't feel like shelling out 2.99.
sheesh - 8 bucks.
Quality costs, Jay.
Oh, Kid. "Crayfish?" "Cray?" Yankee now, are you?
Plus, I must point out, that there is a certain amount of, um ... self-serving going on in this pre-review.
As readers who buy this book will note in the acknowledgments upfront, and I quote:
" My resident zombie authorities are Danelle Perry and Bobbe Edmonds."
There is some hands-on help from the Kid in this regard. Just a dash of spice, but definitely it adds to the flavor.
It's NOT self serving, I didn't know that was in the acknowledgment. How could I?
THE BOOK ISN'T OUT YET!!
See, here I am, just trying to give you some free advertisement, goodness of my heart kind of thing...And you just stomp on it.
*SIGH*
Holy shit, it DID say "Cray"! I think MS Word automatically changed it.
I changed it back.
