As some of you may know, I work in a library. We accept book donations, and once in a while we get treasure. Like this:
The novelization of the movie that one critic reviewed by saying: There's an excessive amount of excess -- a mind-numbing plurality of firearm battles, vehicular explosions and brutally frank sexual talk.
What better use of this gem than as a prize for a contest?
Here's the contest:
Create an action movie novelization. This must include a title (must be original, although nonexistant sequels will work), a tagline (like the above What's forgotten is not always gone), and a summary NO LONGER than 25 words (like the one on the above cover).
The winner receives bragging rights, PLUS I will ship this book to them via snail mail.
Deadline: October 16th, 2016.

I came up with mine in the shower this morning:

Afternoons of Thunder
Assholes finish first. Again.
Can retired racer Cole Trickle combat his mid-life crisis by winning one more race and persuading his colorectal surgeon to sleep with him?
I was in, and then I hit the word "colorectal" and burst out laughing.

Well, submissions have closed, and the winner (declared by coin flip in this case) is...V.R. Stone! Congratulations, and if you PM me your address, I will happily send you your prize. Well-earned.
Eh, I liked his better.
I still think "bloody revenge killing spree" has a charm all its own...
yeah but trying to nail your colorectal surgeon? i mean... bravo.
Uh... you want to ship THAT book all the way to the UK?!
I just entered for the glory.
maybe he can just pirate you an e-copy...
