"Mel Gilden - Zoot Marlow 2 - Hawaiian UFO Aliens" - читать интересную книгу автора (Gilden Mel)

Thumper pounded the flat of his hand against the floor and shouted 'Ahh-roooh! Zoot is back!' The rest
of them took up the cry.
At my feet was a puddle of salt water big enough to do laps in. I waved at the crowd, told them that I
had to change, and walked along the dark hall to Whipper Will's room. As far as I could tell, nothing had
been touched. Nobody had washed the laundry, that was for sure.
Feeling more like myself all the time, I went back into the bedroom and put on my Earth clothes. The
brown suit felt natural. The trenchcoat and the fedora could wait. I was ready for anything now, so I went
back into the bedroom and hefted Bill out of the closet.
Even in the dim light. Bill's silver body shone. I could barely hear a song about surfing and young love
that was playing on the TV in the other room. Rain blew against the side of the house, went away, came
back even harder. I reached down and pulled the flypaper off Bill's head. He blinked and said, 'Bay City!
Ya! Have a nice trip, Boss.'
'I had a nice trip, thanks. Now I'm back.'

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Thanks to Doctors Jon Davidson and An Yin of the U.C.L.A. Earth and Space Sciences Department
for the geological information I put into the mouth of the man from Pasadena Tech in Chapter
Twenty-Four. Any inaccuracies are my fault. I took lightning notes over the phone and may not have
gotten all the facts down correctly. (The rest of the book, however, is definitely true. Really. Trust me.)
Also, thanks to Ms. Sandra Borders, librarian first class, who gave me a lot of information. I didn't
use much of it, but that's not her fault.
'The science of any sufficiently advanced race is indistinguishable from magic.'
