What happens when aliens arrive, intent on destroying Planet Earth?Bad news for the aliens! One MIT hacker thwarts their attack and uses THE PERFECT VIRUS to take over not only their ship, but their entire civilization. Meet Harley Davidson and his soon-to-be-talking dog. The first 8 chapters of HARLEY AND HIS DOG won the prestigious SILVER award from Writers of the Future. Rick Bennett decided to make it a full-length novel. This could be the most unique alien invasion sci-fi novel ever written, since the aliens get whacked before they fire the first shot.
It all started when the MIT professor insulted his dog.
"Mister Harley Davidson," Professor DeBunce drew out my last name in his affected British accent. "You and that mangy sidekick of yours think your AI project can make sure that I never complete another cell phone conversation in my life? That's just barking mad!"
"Yo prof, I suggest that you immediately apologize to my dog."
"Apologize to that fleabag some eighteen-year-old boy genius made part of his MIT admission contract?" He laughed quite a long, forced chortle. "I'll tell you what. You block even one cell phone call with your dissertation project, and I'll give you an honors A in any class you ever take from me."
That little challenge ended up setting THE PERFECT VIRUS loose in the wild and saving Earth.
