See several reviews of the audio book below. Stan and Leroy Hangjab, two street-wise detectives from the Southside of Chicago, and the precocious 14 year old Richard T. McCormick the 4th, rescue the City of Chicago from the clutches of the evil DNA genius, Dr. Franklin Norman Stein and his mutant humanoid creatures. Pandemonium and chaos break out when Stein's ferocious creatures threaten the fate of the entire city of Chicago. Stan, narrating the action at Police Headquarters: "The place was in pandemonium: cops criss-crossing the office, bumping into each other like a pinball machine. All the phones were ringing. As we entered the Chief's office, he was on the phone with the mayor, who was screaming, 'I want this situation turned 360 degrees around! You hear me?!'" I yelled "Chief!" Maybe I spoke too loud at the wrong moment, 'cause the Chief spilled his milk on his bobbing duck, and his right eye began twitching. And before we could get in a word, the Chief got a little huffy. "I know what happened! Things were all right around here until you two characters showed up. Now I got trouble with a capital 'H' for Hangjab!" He reached for two bottles of pills - one for his blood pressure and one for his ulcers. "Where's my Tums Ultra?!" he yelled. "Who took my Tums Ultra pills?!" "They're in your hands, Chief," I answered. And the Chinese pols from Chinatown were none too happy either: "Nobody in this room know nothing! Get better advice from a dog!"Reviews:"Superbly produced, bluntly humorous, outstandingly written."-Midwest Book Review"Outrageousness, hard-boiled detective fiction, hardy series of guffaws can cloud your vision."-Rich Gotshall, Indianapolis Star"Fantastic. I was astounded."-Thomas Fortenberry, Charlotte, N C"A wonderful mixture of comedy and science fiction."-Harold McFarland, Readers Preference Reviews"Kudos to Danny D'Agostino."-Anthony Buccino, Reviewer/Writer, Nutley, New Jersey "Robobro" is an entertaining, sci-fi comedy adventure, featuring four young, broke L.A. dudes, the urban hip generation, who accidentally find a very unusual abandoned CIA project in a junkyard - a talking, half human robot. When they bring it home and power it up, they soon discover they have a half black "bro," half robot on their hands with an outrageous, sarcastic personality, a fact they learn right quick. Robobro's first words: "Damn! . . . I'm trapped in a garage with four busted homies, direct descendants of Moe, Larry, and Curly, Stupids one, two three and four." Robobro, minutes later: . . . "Planet earth to broke dudes. It takes technology to fix me. And cash! Like I suppose you're all graduates of Van Nuys Body and Fender 'U'. (singing) 'Hey, hey, body and fender! Gi' me some bondo and I'll make you a fender!' . . . "Flash! I need high tech geeks. Do any of you know what a printed circuit board is? A transistor? A diode? Can any of you spell volt?" That's Robobro. When they finally repair him and update all of his electronics, they discover he has unique powers for urban combat, which the boys employ to rid dangerous gangs from one of L.A's most crime ridden neighborhoods. Ultimately, they do achieve their dream of owning the best custom car shop in all L.A. Last point: Although Robobro can bend metal in his bare hands, he is terribly frightened of spiders and alley rats, and one special lady who carries the story to a novel, unpredictable end. He's a character, all right. "Robobro" is written in a dialogue style for easy, enjoyable reading.
