Description from the amazon:
Bovina is a sleepy little town, until two friends find themselves battling truck-driving zombies, aliens, and dirty cops after finding a beauiful, busty burqa-bedecked stranger standing on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. Aided by a classic computer nerd and a crazy man wielding a frying pan, follow Chett and Harry as they battle their way across the rural countryside and ultimately save the world. Or do they?
My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): hardheaded hot dogs
I found this a fun read with some shoot-em-up scenes and otherworldly and unmentionable characters. Of course, what really got me was the humor.

I learned that John has an awesomely evil grin and looks just like the kinda guy that would write something like Fried Green Zombies! Also, his town actually had a *dirty* sheriff who got busted :O
