Overview

"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 could be the most unique alien invasion sci-fi novel ever written, since the aliens get whacked before they fire the first shot. It all started when the MIT professor insulted his dog. ""Mister Harley Davidson,"" Professor DeBunce drew out my last name in his affected British accent. ""You and that mangy sidekick of yours think your AI project can make sure that I never complete another cell phone conversation in my life? That's just barking mad!"" ""Yo prof, I suggest that you immediately apologize to my dog."" ""Apologize to that fleabag some eighteen-year-old boy genius made part of his MIT admission contract?"" He laughed quite a long, forced chortle. ""I'll tell you what. You block even one cell phone call with your dissertation project, and I'll give you an honors A in any class you ever take from me."" That little challenge ended up setting THE PERFECT VIRUS loose in the wild and saving Earth."

Author Information

"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 Massachusetts 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 took Larry Ellison's Oracle Corporation from $15 million in sales to over $1 billion in less than six years. And he did all of Marc Benioff's Salesforce.com pre-IPO advertising. On the day of his IPO in June of 2004, Benioff 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, THE LAST WILL & TESTAMENT OF HARLEY AND HIS DOG, possibly stands alone as the most unique alien invasion sci-fi novel ever penned. How many alien-invasion books have the invaders getting creamed before they fire a shot. Readers are invited to share their agreement with this assertion by emailing rick@rickbennett.com."
