CODENAME D.O.U.C.H.E.B.A.G.

by Frank Conniff, Len Peralta (Illustrator)

Four conservatives in need of a second chance. Four media mavens desperate to fight their way back into the only place that mattered to them — the world of Cable TV News. Now this rag-tag group has come together for a commando mission so outrageously daring that it would only be attempted by A– a group of heroes, or B– a bunch of fools. You'll have to decide for yourself. (Hint: It's B.) Frank Conniff, author of the spine-tingling "Twenty Five Mystery Science Theater 3000 Films That Changed My Life In No Way Whatsoever", the pulse-pounding "CATS v. CONNIFF", and the nightmare-inducing "How to Write Cheesy Movies", has now topped himself with his most action-packed, edge-of-your-tweet thriller yet!

Very funny and entertaining. It's written entirely in tweets, which sounds like a bad idea but works really, really well. If you've read any of the author's other books, you'll understand that the tweet approach fits perfectly with his style of humor. It's also a very quick read.
