Book Description:
The strange land of Washington, D.C., is teeming with aliens, politicians, and other bizarre life-forms. Beltway insider and stuffy talk show host John Oliver Banion finds his privileged life turned topsy-turvy when he is abducted by aliens from his exclusive country-club golf course. When he is abducted a second time, he believes he has found his true calling and, in the most passionate crusade of his life, demands that Congress and the White House seriously investigate the existence of extraterrestrials and UFOs. Friends and family, meanwhile, urge Banion to seek therapy before his reputation is ruined for good.

A comic tour de force from "one of the best and surest political humorists in America" (Los Angeles Times Book Review), Little Green Men is an uproarious comedy of manners that proves once and for all that the truth is out there. Way out there.

Hilarious political/journalism novel. Just when you think the situation can't get any more absurd, it does. Minor complaint about the ending kept it from the 5th star, but still a good read (unless, of course, you are a conspiracy theorist, in which case you'll just be pissed off).

Buckley is the master. His wit and humor are second to none. One of the very best intelligent fiction writers.

This lukewarm black comedy about an egotistical television pundit kidnapped by aliens never quite takes off.
