Headhunters from Outer Space

Synopsis

Do you remember the first time you read a really wonderful book of fantastic fiction? The genre has the potential to expand minds and change the way we view reality. There are more novels of speculative fiction than ever before, but frequent readers have realized that most of these books seem like replays of books they've already read...several times. Too many writers choose the path of emulating some other writer's successful "formula." If you are still sifting through the dross of sci-fi/fantasy, searching for that memorable gem, then you should explore this incredible book; Headhunters from Outer Space by Bret McCormick. No matter what ideas pop into your head when you see that title, chances are the novel is waaaay different!The outrageous situations and memorable characters of Headhunters from Outer Space have been compared to the best of Kurt Vonnegut and Phillip K. Dick! Author Bret McCormick has created a humorously compelling world in which transdimensional talent scouts "harvest" entertainment for their own world. Our government knows all about it and keeps tabs, but what can they do against a culture that may be as much as a million years ahead of us in technological development? Big Daddy Bostwick, iconic filmmaker of the sixties counter culture, his companion Isaac Stanton and a group of three journalists doing a retrospective on the men are caught up in a whirlwind of insanity when the Headhunters from Outer Space appear in Alvarado, Texas to acquire talent. This MetaPulp novel is as funny, compelling and original as any you have ever read!"Bravo to the author for writing a truly original work of literature that eviscerates the imaginary box around all of our minds and gives us a few more things to smile about..." -Brian Wallace"If Thomas Pynchon had written a sci-fi novel, it would probably look something like Headhunters from Outer Space: manic humor, 60's vibe, wacky-wise cracking characters, all in a true Texas ambiance." -J. Baldwin"My novel is about the residual effects of the 60s and the people who changed the way we saw the world. It's about the unexamined assumptions of our society and the ambivalent feelings many younger folks have about what those socially conscious flower children were up to. The book is a humorous, satirical tale with science fiction overtones that evokes deeper concerns." -Bret McCormick
