Air Force Gator is Dan Rykerts first fiction novel he has published.
If you have never heard of Dan Rykert, he is mainly known for being a personality within the video gaming industry. He is a writter for Giant Bomb and is featured on their podcasts and videos. He comes across as dumb and fun and this translates perfectly to his book. Boy is it dumb and is sure as hell a lot of fun.
Air Force Gator is the tale of a mutated alagator that exists for some reason or another. He is also a legendary figher pilot for the US Air Force. Oh and if I havn’t said the words ‘Air Force’ enough already….. his name IS Air Force Gator. The book starts with Gator spending his time boozing and sleeping with hookers as a washed up veteran. That is until he witnesses the horror that was the destruction of the twin towers and is spured on to get revenge on the monsters that commited such a crime. While on this cold blooded revenge spree, a croc from his past arrives back on the scene and threatens all man kind.
What follows is no brains needed afair of 80′s action movie inspired violence and dialogue which often left a dumb childish grin on my face. You will be treated to gatuitous violence, explosions, blood, more explosions and a healthy dose of cringe worthy one liners.
It only took me 3 hours to read as its really short but all the better for it. It just wouldn’t work if it took itself remotely seriously.
So if you decide to read this ‘so bad its good’ book, go in with the right expectations and enjoy the ride
