Moonshine Talking

by Scott Patterson

Join Shaklee and Amway, two enterprising aliens hell-bent on selling moonshine to the outer worlds. Towed into low Earth orbit, their penniless campaign immediately collides with human ambition and downhome hillbilly charm.

Chief among their opposition is the new president-elect, a genuine backwoods Tennessee boy aided by his girlfriend from the stars.

It's a silly, improbable tale of human folly and extraterrestrial nonsense.
