Somewhat OT, Good book
 

Just got finished reading a great book mom sent me for Christmas:
"Metzger's Dog."
It is one of the funniest, strangest things I have ever read, sort
of a very dark "Trustee from the Toolroom."
The hero (?) main character is a tool and die maker named Leroy
"Chinese" Gordon who has spent the past several years lovingly
constructing a working M-39-A1 automatic aircraft cannon to mount in
the back of his van. Gordon and his mercenary buddies proceed to rip
off a university lab of its pure cocaine (being used for research) and
in so doing, discover secret government reports on controlling human
behavior.
Somewhere in here I should mention that Metzger, actually Dr.
Henry Metzger, is a cat, and the only one of our intrepid crew who can
handle the enormous junk yard dog (found in a junkyard) that joins them
on their adventures blackmailing the CIA...
...that is manned by a collection of arrogant fools and one or
two very intelligent good guys (?).
Somewhere around 2 a.m. as I read about the gang shutting down
L.A. after a botched CIA strike, it occurred to me that a bunch of you
guys might like it a lot. I mean listen up: Cats, guns, machinists,
rabid dogs, stupid government, smart loners, dumb CIA, smart CIA,
hacking the entire phone grid, Gordon's very understanding beautiful
woman, and blowing up pick up trucks for fun out somewhere next to
Gunner's house....what else is there?

Sounds like fun. He has half a dozen other books out, too. Read any
more?
