Edger Lives
by David Beem
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Comedy, Action/Adventure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Our dork of destiny rides again!
Edger
is falling for Mary, his bodyguard, kick-ass spy, and cover wife. But she’s so
hopelessly out of his league, it’s clear someone’s going to get hurt. Less
clear? That someone may be the Prime Minister of Australia.
When
Mary confesses her desire to kill the world leader whose assassination Edger’s
supposed to prevent, Edger’s superpowers pick the worst time to stop working.
Without a fully functional psychic superhero, their team of spies can no longer
order him to probe Mary’s mind for ill intent. The stage is set for a
confrontation that threatens to strip a defenseless Edger of his loyal
protector just when he needs her most.
Return
to the Collective Unconscious, this time with Listerine-chugging stoners,
Hollyweirdos, commie-alien-kung fu robots, one space gorilla-unicorn, and an
exceedingly lovesick Vladimir Putin.
Mind your fingers and toes on page 270. Those skydiving
mind-control monkeys have been known to bite!

EXCERPT THREE:
Google
the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan and you’ll learn this single-engine
turbine-powered plane is among the most popular jump aircrafts in the world.
The Grand Caravan model, with its 675 horsepower, has a good climb and
typically seats nine passengers plus the pilot, but with the FAR Part 23
waiver, the number of passengers tops out at fourteen. The wingspan is
fifty-two feet. A full tank of fuel gets you a range of 1,232 miles. The cruise
speed is 214 mph. All this is Googleable. Less Googleable: the Cessna 208B
Grand Caravan is exceedingly popular with the Russian skydiving mind-control
chimp crowd.
These
adventure-seeking chimps love the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan for its high wing
and large exit door. They love to jump up and down in the back and fling poo
while shrieking at the tops of their lungs. Most of all, they love the
complimentary Chiquita bananas.
This
group of mind-control chimps, like the others flying over northern Indiana, are
wearing yellow-and-purple spandex onesies and Q-32 Thinking Caps replete with
fancy blinking lights and telescoping antennas. They are well-mannered monkeys,
despite their predilection for flinging poo, who’ve been taught it’s poor form
to arrive at a party without a gift. For this reason, they have brought some
five hundred pendant medallions between them, medallions identical to the ones
adopted as the symbol of the Church of the Ladder Day Dudes.
The
squadron of Cessnas banks two miles above sleepy South Bend, Indiana, in
preparation for its pass over the Notre Dame campus.

MY BOOK REVIEW:
This book is brilliantly
written with hilarious scenes, witty comical banter, intriguing wordplay, clever
pop cultural references, slick celebrity name drop allusions, keen sarcasm
among characters, sharp writing, and a quirky storyline that brings it all
together!
Edger
is at it again! Still the same dorky guy
as last time and he’s back again to save the world! This book is also returning with the same piercing,
slapstick humor that practically has you rolling on the floor laughing with
every turning page!!!
This book’s humor is anything but subtle – it basically sucker
punches you in the face, then dumps a tub of molasses on you and tosses a
bucket of feathers on top. Nothing discrete
here lol!
There
is no reading between the lines to follow and understand these humorous
scenes! The author did a great job at
allowing the reader to easily identify, consume, and enjoy the comical and
satire lines.
However,
there are some passages that the author wrote in a more clever and cunning
stance that may at times be difficult to decipher the exact meaning of the
message that the author truly intended, but not overwhelmingly hard to identify
at least one meaning. Plus, that’s what
is fun about these books, you can read them multiple times and come away with a
whole difficult take-away each time!
This
book is also full of entertaining kick-butt and take some names kind of action! Some of those particular scenes were quite amusing
but also so vividly detailed and well-written that it made these scenes easy to
picture. And without any spoilers, I
think that was such an important part of the book since the action scenes are
unique and with the author being able to provide so much detail and definition
it was almost like I was watching the scenes play as a movie in my head!
This book has a great storyline that flows, terrific writing
style with detailed scenes, is fast paced, and keeps you completely entertained
through the last page.
There are so many elements and layers to this book! However, they all find a way to beautifully
come together in the end.
This
book is Book Two of the Edger Book Series.
I had not read the first book before reading this book and
unfortunately, I wish I had. There are so
many references to the previous book and the characters significantly
overlap. It could technically be read on
its own as a standalone. I wasn’t
completely confused or lost. I just felt
out of the loop and that I was missing lots of important information about the
characters and how they got to the point at where they are when book two
starts. So, I personally would recommend
reading book one, before you start book two.
Especially since the author mentions that book three is just around the
corner!
If you enjoy geeking out with like-minded dorks and rooting for
the underdog superhero while enjoying some mind-blowing LOL coma’s then this
book is truly for you!
All in all, I really enjoyed reading this book and would
absolutely recommend it! I think all comedy,
action, adventure readers will like this book too! So, add it to your TBR List and get to
reading - you won't be disappointed!
Please note that this book is strongly rated 18+ as it contains
adult situations, adult language, etc.
