"What a hilarious ride--the ubersurreal meets The Daily Show." -- Tim Dorsey, author of Nuclear Jellyfish

In the bestselling and rightfully cult-inspiring tradition of Kurt Vonnegut and Douglas Adams comes First Contact --an hysterically funny satire about Presidential politics and intergalactic misunderstanding. This smart and biting novel by Evan Mandery--an author equally well-versed in the lives of the U.S. presidents, existential philosophy, and the Simpsons--offers much food for intellectual thought along with an all-you-can-eat buffet of laughs, as it chronicles the first close encounters between earthlings and a vastly superior extraterrestrial race from Rigel-Rigel. As the subtitle of First Contact so presciently informs us, "It's Later than You Think."

Industry Reviews

Xavier Robillard, author of Captain Freedom "First Contact was love at first sight! What a hilarious ride - the uber surreal meets The Daily Show. I'm now staring at the cosmic calendar waiting for Mandery's next contact."--Tim Dorsey, Author of Nuclear Jellyfish "Mandery's sharp sense of humor and habit of addressing the reader make for a stimulating and intelligent read that's never short on laughs."--Publishers Weekly First Contact was love at first sight!
