Of course, this meme is funnier if you’re familiar with both Greek mythology and current internet memes.

The Big Show

The Big Show & Other Tales (Bolo)
by Keith Laumer
Andy Zach‘s review

Aug 30, 2021  
really liked it


This book has more military scifi short stories. Even though it’s about fifty years old, I didn’t give it five stars because it isn’t one of Keith Laumer’s more famous works.

Nonetheless, it’s a crackling good collection of military stories. I noticed some of Laumer’s characteristic impossible odds facing his antagonist, which are eventually overcome.

Recommended for any fan of military scifi, short stories, or Keith Laumer.

Now For a New Zombie Turkeys Review

Nikki

4.0 out of 5 stars 

An unusually unique zombie tale perfect for YAs.

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2021

I read this book to preview it for teen readers. I found it light and humorous considering it being a zombie tale. It’s perfect for young adults! But I wouldn’t recommend it for the hard-core adult zombie, post-apocalyptic fans.

Andy’s take is unique, fun, and refreshing. The story wraps up cleanly with minimal gore and lots of tongue-in-cheek remarks. How fun to learn you can order a flamethrower on Amazon!

Ace zombie reporter Sam Melvin has been fired—by his wife, Lisa. Their newspaper, the Midley Beacon, is barely surviving now that the zombie turkey apocalypse is over. How will they make ends meet?

Lisa convinces Sam to try his hand at being a private investigator. Sam Melvin, zombie detective, does have a certain ring to it. All across the country people bring their zombie problems to Sam. Squirrels? Bulls? Sam’s on the case. And his rates keeps rising. But when he meets unkillable human zombie criminals, will he survive?

Sam finds out in a series of deadly adventures—and so will you in Zombie Detective. If you can keep from dying from laughter.

August’s Best Content for You from Andy Zach

Best Content for you is right here. Of course, we must start with “Bears on a Plane”. The question for you is, a short story or a novel? Tell me and I’ll send you a copy. If not this short story, then another one.

By the way, I have more short stories for you below.

What can top ‘Bears on a Plane’?

I grew up in Cleveland and so did Tim Conway. We watched him on the Carol Burnette Show. He never failed to crack up his fellow comedians.

Going on, I also found this amazing video: Mars’ entire 24-hour rotation.

More Great Content from the Internet

Author E.M. Swift-Hook was kind enough to share an excerpt of my book Zombie Turkeys on her blog. Here it is:

Excerpt from Zombie Turkeys, by Andy Zach.

CHAPTER 2 – EDWARDS

He felt great, full of energy. He led his flock out of the woods. Now there was another field in front of them, with a large barnlike structure on it. Maybe it was another turkey barn!He’d go free them and gain more members for his flock. They had acquired more wild turkey flocks during their march. Now twelve thousand strong, they charged the barnlike structure.

* * *

The Caterpillar Edwards Dealer Education facility was preparing for a big customer demonstration. A large 390F backhoe was digging trenches and D-11 and D-10 tractors were filling them in—inside the voluminous demonstration building. It was only 7:30 a.m., but they had a scripted and choreographed performance to practice, showing the capabilities of the company’s huge machines. Part of script was for the 390s to dig a huge trench, have a small D-4 tractor go into it and smooth it out, and then have the big D-11s fill it back in. Then an enormous flock of turkeys entered through the open arena door. “Gobble! Gobble!”

That was not in the script.

You’re Not Done With Great Content

Good news! You’ve got another free excerpt below. It’s my short story ‘In A Pickle’ from my book Oops!

Yes, this is an eMagazine with lots of stories by lots of authors–including me. Here’s my short story icon:

The death of an egg. Always a sobering topic. He’ll be savored long after he’s gone.

How About a Hypersonic Jet for You?

The SR-71 was one of my favorite planes of all time. Top speed of around 3,000 mph (4,800 kph for you metric folks.) Here’s a possible successor which is planned to go at twice the speed, up to Mach 8.

I now take you from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Is this next video ridiculous or sublime? Or just history? Or just fun?

Bye for now! If you find any great content, let me know and I’ll send you a free book.
