SF Site = Awesome

I base that claim on this:

http://www.sfsite.com/12b/gg286.htm


My favorite chunk: "Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse is one action scene after another, linked together to tell the tale of a man trying to find sense in an insane world. It's been described as Tarantino-meets-Christopher Moore-meets-Mad Max, and that's pretty damned accurate. It's cheesy B-Movie post-apocalyptic science fiction, supremely confident in its senseless over-the-top exuberance, and its devil-may-care attitude is contagious. Chock-full of "what the f***" scenes, it's one heck of a story. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down again."

My sincere gratitude to reviewer Michael M. Jones.

I can't wait to read it, but I figured I'd start with Gun Monkeys, which I'm almost done with, and work my way up to it. I've also read several of your short stories.

Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse wasn't partially inspired by a video game, was it? Every time I read about it, I can't help thinking about this computer RPG I played many years ago but can't seem to think of the title.

Thanks, JZID.

I didn't base any of GO-GO on a video game, but I think it WOULD make a great video game. If you know anyone at Bethesda ... hint hint ...
