ZOOT IZ BACK!

Surfing Samurai Robots by Mel Gilden has been reprinted
and is available for order at a bookstore near you.

Surfing Samurai Robots is one of the most killer books of all time...
Detective Zoot Marlowe, endlessly quipping geek from the planet T'toom,
faces his first case on earth. Can he unravel this gnarly mystery in time
to keep his endless-summer gang of Malibu beach buddies from losing
the Surf-o-rama? Are the suit-wearing gorillas behind it? Or maybe the guy
with his brain in a lobster?

Mel Gilden blends surf movie satire with just plain, good, detective
mystery plotting to achieve a highly humerous and engrossing novel.

This book really is a genre of its own. --Amazon.com

There were moments when I guffawed out loud... -- Eric Troup

Laughs cover-to-cover! This is an excellent book!
How do you combine aliens with surfers and biochemistry
and Phillip Marlowe and make it funny? I have no idea,
but Mel Gilden does it effortlessly. Filled with outrageous situations
and larger-than-life characters, this book is a delight to read.
Highly recommended. ---g@wired.com
