About this audiobook

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 might be the most unique alien invasion sci-fi novel ever written, as aliens get whacked before they fire the first shot.

About the author

Frank Herbert (author of DUNE) told mathematician/inventor and friend Rick Bennett that he reminded him of his character Jorj X. McKie in the short story THE TACTFUL SABOTEUR. Bennett, inventor of the Hagoth voice stress analyzer, made the front page of every November 9, 1976, Sunday newspaper for his analysis of the Ford/Carter presidential debates. Bennett’s appearances on NBC’s TODAY and TOMORROW WITH TOM SNYDER, ABC’s GOOD MORNING AMERICA, THE McNEIL-LEHRER REPORT and the MIKE DOUGLAS shows impressed the DUNE author, who supported Rick’s selling his Washington State company and running for congress in 1978. Herbert got Bennett 47% of the vote, which wasn’t enough to take him to DC.

Bennett became “manager of special projects” for Data General. His first job was to pass tax-limitation in Massachusetts, where he hired the famous Tony Schwartz. Schwartz’s DAISY ad ran only once on one television network but destroyed Barry Goldwater’s presidential campaign. Schwartz taught Bennett guerrilla warfare, and tax-limitation passed with 60% of the vote.

Rick Bennett moved to Silicon Valley and mentored by Tony Schwartz, started his guerrilla warfare career. His one-man ad agency counts Oracle and Salesforce as two success stories. In June of 2004, Salesforce founder wrote Bennett, “We couldn’t have done this without you.”

Since 2000, Bennett has published two novels: DESTROYING ANGEL and DADDY’S LITTLE FELONS. Four of his award-winning short stories appear in an anthology, CRESTING THE SUN. This new novel? He believes THE LAST WILL & TESTAMENT OF HARLEY AND HIS DOG stands alone as the most unique science fiction novel ever penned. See if you agree.
