What if you could combine Douglas Adams perspective on space and mix it with Robert Aspirin's irreverence and simplicity in the MYTH series? How about the zaniness of Terry Pratchett with the vivid characters of Alan Dean Foster in Glory Lane? How would a unique perspective be accepted if Bill the Galactic hero had three companions along in Harry Harrison's novels?

What if four rednecks from Kansas were kidnapped by aliens from Pilifino for accidently assaulting one of their citizens on a golf course? Would you be interested in learning the back story of a one-legged Guatemalan pigmy hooker and how she ended up with that alien? Why won't they talk about the Mayans? What happened on Darfo Seven? How did they end up partying with Elvis?

Space Tangents (Bubba and the Aliens) explores the adventures of these four rednecks after their abduction. When they do get back to earth, they have to explain why the time jump did not get them back in time for Jack to go to his girlfriend's sister's birthday party.

This is part of their review:

In many ways, this comical perspective on intergalactic travel reminds me of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"; not so much because of his central premise, but more so because of its sardonic tone while providing details of their adventures in space. It is clear from these opening pages that the readers will be entertained by the sequences of implausible and ironic instead of character empathy. Douglass Adams was a master of channeling the implausible and the ironic into his writing as a way of challenging his characters throughout his storylines. It would seem that you intend to create conflict and (hopefully) develop your characters by testing them through absurdist adventures that only seem absurd in hindsight.
