Jed the Dead
نویسنده:
Alan Dean Foster
امتیاز دهید
Ross Ed Hager is a good ol' boy from Texas, headed to the coast and expecting to see things he's never seen before. Jed is something he's never seen before--a three-eyed, six-limbed, alien corpse. And even though he's dead, he's still the life of the party.
Bestselling author Foster (The Spoils of War) twists a black comedy about an alien corpse into a hilarious, weird, and out-of-this-world road trip, full of memorable characters, witty dialogue, and plenty of surprises. Ross Ed Hagen is a king-sized Texan with one desire in life: to see the Pacific Ocean. But during a rest stop on is drive west he discovers a pint-sized, three-limbed corpse in a space suit which rather changes his trip. Jed, as Ross names the body, never moves a muscle, and yet, he possesses a variety of unearthly powers, ranging from telepathically inducing cosmic visions, to blasting car jackers with laser beams, even providing patter for a ventriloquism act. Foster's wry narrative (""...it shuddered like a movie critic at an Italian made-for-video film festival..."" ) keeps the plot cantering along, as Jed and Ross outsmart humorless Army operatives, geriatric bounty hunters, and oily Hollywood agents, as well as a wide variety of gun-toting American citizens bent on contacting UFOs. Although this is really a wild road novel, it still is best for sf fans, who will get more of the humor.
