In this sequel to the revolutionary Air Force Gator, eight years have passed since the Crocodile Rock incident that almost irrevocably damaged the United States. Since saving the country on that day, Air Force Gator’s legendary status has grown to unseen heights. His strength is magnified after being exposed to the chemical GatorAid. He’s dating a super hot stripper. Once a desperate and alcoholic whoremonger, the alligator pilot has finally found peace. When President Obama organizes a rally on the National Mall to honor the inaugural Air Force Gator Day, the heroic reptile plans on announcing his retirement from military duty. His dreams of a quiet retirement come crashing down around him when a fringe group of radical reptiles led by an evil pig farmer interrupts the festivities and carries out a massive terrorist attack. Devastated by the increasingly personal attacks of the Sons of Gustav, it’s time for Gator to lace up his boots again and bring the pain.
This book is the definitive piece of literature of our generation.
The author, Dan Ryckert, clearly did months of research and fact checking to make sure everything in the book was authentic. Air Force Gator II is an emotional thrill ride from page one that doesn't stop even after you've put it down. If a book was ever to win the Medal of Honor it would be Scales of Justice.
I think the only thing that caught me off-guard was the Barry reference. Not the show, the other Barry who was popular when the book was written.
Also there’s a whole book series that’s much more exciting about Barry and his adventures with Joe. Go read that instead.
Dan ends with a thank you to the people who wanted the story to be even stupider. I can only imagine who those people are and what they must think of themselves.
Dan Ryckert proves once again that he hasn't matured past the age of 12 and yet I still found this book more enjoyable than Cormac McCarthy's "Outer Dark," which I read recently.
