National Darkroast Day

The chief just published his first book. Clearly, as his college room mate and best man in his wedding, i am a bit biased, but i want to say that this is a fantastic book.

National Darkroast Day is available on amazon (as well as iuniverse). I've read the book and it is freaking hilarious. It's an intelligent, sharply written satire that comments on corporate greed and american consumerist culture. the backdrop features a strikingly familiar-sounding coffee company. good characters, great plot, really strong pacing, and most importantly, a fun read. i could go on about it, but i'll leave it here. so, order the book (it's $17 on amazon). read it. you'll love it.

if reader reviews count for you, here's what the first reader review on amazon says:

Reviewer:

Eric Wasserman (Santa Monica, CA)

A tour de force of social commentary that combines the classic satire of Jonathan Swift with the gut-laughter of South Park. Confident and assured in its style, pinpoint-precise in its approach, National Darkroast Day is an impressive debut from a writer with true staying power! If you like novels such as C.D. Payne's hysterical Frisco Pigeon Mambo or Gulliver's Travels, this is a must read!

and here's the book summary from iuniverse:

At the turn of the 21st century, the CEO of Darkroast Coffee—America’s largest and most popular corporation—launches a major holiday called National Darkroast Day. The holiday is supposed to be a national celebration complete with baristas, festivities, free coffee, and an entertaining Moon Laser Show. Secretly, National Darkroast Day is an evil plot to take over and destroy the entire country. A group of heroes must race against the clock to stop the CEO and save America. In doing so, these heroes unravel a blockbuster secret about Darkroast’s CEO and company origins—a secret that makes their battle a death-defying showdown against the ultimate enemy.
