5 unserious stars

"Cowboys, aliens, hit men, and nos a canyon full of survivalists. Young stared down into the chasm and the flurry of movement their approach was causing and shook his head in disbelief. How was this his life? It was over the top, completely unreal. Butler had been right, this could’ve been a bad action movie."

This was SO MUCH FUN!!!! it was so yummy and unserious and genuinely funny and actually well thought and pretty decently executed for an idea so over the top that it should Not have worked. were there things that could’ve been more developed or better executed? yes. do i care? NO!!!!

i wish i had ten more of these to read and relish, a whole adventure with aliens and cowboys and retired hitmen, because this was just too scrumptious to get over that easily.
