Alien Blue

By DeAnna Knippling

Bill Trout didn’t set out to get involved with aliens. He just wanted to run his damned brewery and heal up from being abandoned by his ex-wife. But that ain’t the way things worked out, and now he has some bodies to bury, an alien kid who’s wanted for murder—mass murder—to hide, and a planet to save. But Bill won't go down easy.
Fortunately, the aliens, who are a blue ooze that takes over your body and are real hard to kill, have no tolerance for alcohol. So now Bill has a new beer on tap: Alien Blue.

He just has to be careful who he serves it to.

Reviews for Alien Blue

[catherine_dilts · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

DeAnna Knippling creates some unusual characters and situations. Alien Blue demonstrates real talent for descriptive phrases. She is an up-and-coming author to take note of. While there was a Vonnegut air to this, and perhaps a manic touch of - dare I make the comparison - Hunter S. Thompson, I had trouble staying engaged in the action - and there was plenty of action. I put the book down. Having said that, I eagerly await her next novel. She's going somewhere, I just know it. Darned if I can figure out where, but with writing this talented, I'm ready to go for the ride.
