Damn Dirty Humans

Summary

The Tarathoids have been harvesting planets for centuries. Their process is flawless: scout, assess, cull. Earth is next. What could possibly go wrong? Operative 267 has completed forty-seven successful reconnaissance missions. This will not be the forty-eighth. Deep in the Oregon wilderness, four friends on a camping trip are doing what they do best — being aggressively, chaotically human. When Operative 267 makes first contact, it expects fear, compliance, easy manipulation. What it gets is a bear hug, a campfire debate about Signs, and an unsolicited nickname. What follows is a disaster of intergalactic proportions: a joyride over Times Square, a diplomatic incident with North Korea, and a body count aboard the authority vessel that no one can explain. Damn Dirty Humans is a darkly comedic sci-fi romp about first contact gone spectacularly wrong — and the four oblivious idiots who saved the world without ever knowing they did it.
