Planet Buzzkill — James LaFond

Have you grown tired of alien invasion and zombie apocalypse fiction where mankind is represented by secret agents, astronauts, hero cops, military men, do-gooders and psychopaths? Have you ever thought to yourself, 'If it really happened, how would me and these knuckleheads around me make out?'Wonder no more! In 2012 urban violence guru, Harm City author, and self-proclaimed extra-terrestrial anthropologist, James LaFond, boarded a Baltimore City bus, looked around at the dozen strangers on the bus, assigned them names, observed them over the next month, and then put them center stage in First Contact: A Working Class Guide To Mankind's Final Hours. Read if you dare, as a busload of ordinary Baltimoreans are selected by cruel Fate to make mankind's last stand against a vast intergalactic intelligence.
