Long story. Read it. — The Interstellar Police Force trilogy by Raymond F. Klein
Get the First BookWhen five dangerous prisoners escape to a backwater planet called Earth, the Interstellar Police Force sends two agents to bring them back.
This is far from a simple mission. The agents must infiltrate Earth and blend in with the locals without drawing attention. However, being that the agents are alien in appearance, they must first replicate themselves to appear human. The commander's replication succeeds, but due to a computer glitch his partner is replicated into a Doberman Pinscher. From then on out, the mission becomes more complicated than expected.
Now they're hunting alien criminals armed with nothing but 1950s B-movie knowledge of Earth and each other. Their only ally? A young woman who unwittingly discovers their true identities.
Think Men in Black meets The Odd Couple, with a heavy dose of Twilight Zone charm. This adventure is first contact like you have never read and with a dog, you will never forget.
