Alien Agenda (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781477528488)

Mike Pettengill has worked in the animation industry for the past 20 years, the lion's share of which has been on The Simpsons television show as a Background Artist. Due to the nature of that work, he is completely incapable of drawing any of the Simpsons characters any better than you are, but he can draw their couch like no one else. He began reading science fiction as an elementary and junior high school student, and started out on such series as E.E. "Doc" Smith's The Lensmen, and Frank Herbert's Dune. This book is the product of many hours of handwritten work on yellow legal pads, painstakingly transferred to the digital realm by an exceedingly effective neural network inside a human host. Mr. Pettengill, as he is known to the legal system of Los Angeles, is busily creating more stories, though now he works using burnt sticks, and writes in block letters on the insides of abandoned buildings. "Let's see if they can copy this into Word," he seems to say.
