Hi Gini, I have to laugh just a little I am not sure what day Oct 113th is but I really like it!!!
Thank you so very much for this giveaway. I think I have everything crossed... I WANT THIS BOOK SO BAD!!!!
Lots of love to my main man Christopher (pull some strings for me please)

I'd have to say the best city for a big show down might be somewhere major like London or Tokyo, because of the mass amount of people (in other words, mayhem) it would cause...fun times!
Sooooo looking forward to this one!
Thanks Gini!
ash @smashattackreads.com
Best city for a show down... hhmmmm.
Well there is a lot of open room out in Eastern Oregon.. So lets go with Pendelton, OR. Or if you are looking for lots of damage, make Christopher and the Imaginary's work hard lets go LA

Definitely somewhere exotic like Rio!! Really love this series and seriously cannot wait to read this one and of course all future novels as well.

Can't wait to read this book :)
The best city to have a showdown with the Big Bads I think would be somewhere in the Midwest. Omaha, Nebraska of course would be interesting or having the Big Bads mistake Manhattan, Kansas for the other Manhattan would be great.
These would be ideal places because the other cities are kind of cliche because every disaster movie has something bad happen to the big cities.

Is there anything better than opening the mail to an opportunity to win and read a Gini Koch book? Well yes, actually winning the ARC of course. Thank you for the giggles and opportunity to plead with the gods of random to smile on me LOL I think the Big Bads showdown should be in Hollywood, what a hoot, do you think anyone would realize it was not a movie LOL
dz59001[at]gmail[dot]com
I'm an H-town boy so feel like I should say Houston, Texas would be a great place for a throwdown... but I'd be lying because one place in particular stands above the rest, even Houston.
New Orleans is the place to be. Swamps, historic landmarks, Cajun food, and Mardi Gras, where even the wildest superbeings could walk around unnoticed.
oops! forgot email. It's darkwyrmreads@yahoo.com
Hey if it's good enough for Boggie and Bergman, it's good enough for Kitty & Martini ... Paris, baby.
Since Friday isn't the 13th, the 113th adds to it and makes it all cool and ready for Friday the 13th -- I don't know, tried to help my girl, Gini, but don't think it helped! :)
@Marty, you also forgot to mention, with the swamp ... maybe the supergators could make an appearance!
oh yeah, my email
cruel_rose_2002(at)yahoo(dot)com
@Mrs. Chuckie Reynolds
That would be pretty cool if the supergators made an appearance:)
Oh and I too forgot to post my email:geckyboz[at]gmail[dot]com
I think I think Victorville, California would be good because there's nothing there but dirt they could lure them out to the desert and no one would see or hear anything.
Barbed1951 at aol dot com
Anywhere: as long as it's far away from Groningen! Can't have big bad fuglies and such running around in my home town.
@Mrs. Chuckie Reynolds
Good point. It would be the perfect place to have the supergators make another appearance, and another visit from them would be AWESOME!!!
This comment has been removed by the author.
@ Becky - of course Omaha, NE would be the best place for the showdown! Not only is it my hometown, but... nothing exciting ever happens here... ever... Plus it's pretty spread out so lots of rampaging room for large alien fuglies! and we have lots of corn fields to hide the bodies! And I will stop using exclamation points! Right now!
So.... did I mention how much I luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv this series and really, really, really want the next book?! So pick me, 'k :)
oh and I'm erin f btw...

Wouldn't it be fun to have the great showdown at a giant amusing park somewhere? Like Disneyworld at Halloween, making it hard to figure out who was bad and who was in costume?
Lame I know, but that's all I got. The creative juices don't flow very fast or long in my ol' noggin which is why I read.
(ARGH!!! I keep forgetting to amend my comments w/ my comment name: erin f since my GFC/gooogle acct ID doesn't have the last initial. Sorry for all the post deleting.)
I'm definitely voting on having London for a showdown with the Big Bads. But only if that means you have to come over here & do research (or in otherwords come & hang out with your UK fans so we can get to meet you!) :o)
Marty I also love your idea of New Orleans as a setting but only if we get Mrs Chuckie Reynold's supergators thrown into the mix. I'm missing Gigantigator & Alliflash lol
Denise Z Hollywood is a fab idea too - it would be too funny having the crowds all come running to watch them filming the "movie" and getting in the way of the fuglies
Erin, your idea of Disneyworld is a good one, imagine the damage the fuglies could do in the middle of the parade! People definitely wouldn't know they were real monsters & would think they were some special mechanical floats.
Gini could have some fun getting all the characters on some of the roller coasters too :o)
I just want to know why Canada is almost never used in books. And don't say it's because we're to polite for violence and mayhem. To mangle a quote from Tim Allen at a comedy fest, "50,000 people defending a country that size without guns? I wouldn't want to mess with them, they must be 'bad ass'. We also have real beer
If you want to have a showdown with fuglies it has to be Tokyo as a homage to the Godzilla movies.
I'm thinking Colorado Springs, Colorado. Or just outside anyway. I mean, how fun would it be to have a showdown in an underground complex? LOL
I'm gonna throw a bid in for my hometown, Saratoga Springs, NY... You never know, maybe someone in the book might like to race horses, just as long as the fuglies dont want to eat them.....yuk. Hmmmm, best reconsider....
kiwi1124 at nycap.rr.com
@Erin, yep Omaha's my hometown too :) I agree there are a lot of spots to hide bodies and West Omaha would make for some ideal fighting places. :)
Hmm, an actual city? I wouldn't want to level a city...... But, if you insist there's a city in South Carolina that may have been where I grew up that you're more than welcome to have the big bad fuglies decimate.*g*
Hello Ms. Gini!
I can't wait to see about the baby! From the cover (which isn't always a reliable source) it looks like a girl. Lol, Martini makes girls! XD Anyway, can't wait to read this book, would love a giveaway copy!
Oh, and the best place for a showdown of the big baddies? That would be L.A. I saw that because, maybe some camera crew will catch it on film! ^_~ ...then again, Christopher would alter it...dang it!
Scarlett
Hi Gini!
Wow, wow, wow, definitely want to win Alien Proliferation even I still cry Martini choose Kitty over me and they have a baby (why Martini, why?)
And best city to have a showdown with Big Bads?? I would love to promote Indonesia's jewel, Bali!! With exotic scenery, beach,its will make a perfect showdown for the big Bads. And if Kitty need help, Lousianna have alligator, we Indonesian people have Komodo, which are more deadly than alligator.
Just sayin :P
Ops forget to left my email : sawamura_foxman AT yahoo DOT com
I subscribe for Hook Me Up too =)
If not New Orleans, I'd go with Paul's idea for Tokyo. Could be a fun way to pay homage to Godzilla, Mothra, etc. - the original big bads of cinema.
Haiku Throwdown
Thee ARC shall be mine
All ye other scrubs best go
Indeed I do rule
@Becky... you rock!
I can't haiku to save my life. Really. Fuglies could be demanding one in exchange for leaving and world peace and stuff and I'd be all... uhhhh... roses are red?
And this goes completely against stereotype as I'm Asian. But what people need to realize is that Asian Americans are twinkies... yellow on the outside and white on the inside ;)
Since Las Vagas had a smack down...New York should be next!
@erin, Thanks, yeah it's the only form of poetry that I can every remember/actually write somewhat coherently. :)
hmmm, let's say Seattle, lots of people, lots of rain. lol I'm sick of the yucky rain and dreary weather, I think everyone should be sick of it with me hehehe :)
@Jolene, yes rain would be good especially since the ACs usually wear white shirts :)
Nursery Rhyme Smackdown
Hickory Dickory Dock, I'll be here around the clock
You'll all fall down, I'll still be around
ARC will astound, My luck will abound
I totally still think that the show down needs to be in Oregon. Because I so missed my opportunity to kidnap Christopher during our interview. To many witnesses and all. Plus Gini was there and I am sure she would frown at me stealing him.
Don't look at me like that Gini, you know I am totally and completely obsessed with him.
Really want this ARC.... hhhmmm *goes to computer types in "How to kidnap Beyond Sexy Alien named Christopher, while fixing the Gods of Random to pick my name to win"
Results: "You are up shit creek"*
DAMNATION!!!!!

The fight should take place in Casablanca, right around the corner from Rick's Cafe. But then maybe Rick would come out and put a stop to everything. Still I vote for Casablanca
Being a Londoner I'd have to honestly say I'd love it if the Big Bads would take out that eye sore of a London Eye and then all out chaos can take to the streets. Granted that would be a little close to home for my family so maybe it's not a good idea after all... Ummm... No you know what, I'll have my family come stay here with me, you have at London :)
shroudedheart(at)hotmail(dot)com
C'mon South Carolina has a bunch of Southern "Bless Your Heart" people who could watch a showdown and then go home thinking there was some fiiiiine fire water to be had to be thinking they'd seen what they had seen. No need for Christopher to erase anything. *g*
Best place for a big showdown: Milan.
Why? Because it would all lead to pictures of many topless male A-Cs. How? Follow with me.
Time: Fashion week in Milan
Event: The Armani fashion show.
Perception of Audience: BEST technical feat of fashion show genius EVER! Imagine, tons of gorgeous hunks all battling monsters while dressed impeccably in Armani and coming out in the end without a hair out of place. Sure, some buildings and landmarks get toppled, but this is for FASHION!
Now, after the battle is won, as part of their cover for the battle, Reader comes forward with an announcement for the witnesses. This was all part of a “fashion show” produced by him using models exclusively from his premier modeling agency, Out of This World Modeling, which he started after retiring from his own modeling career.
After such a spectacular display, to appease the masses clamoring for more work featuring Reader’s models, Kitty and Reader come up with the idea of producing a calendar exclusively featuring Out of This World Models.
Both Martini and Christopher (and, of course, Reader) get their own month. Jeff forbids Kitty from owning a copy, what with all the other men’s bare parts, and Kitty, *of course, complies.
*She has Gladys keep her copy stashed and the A-C elves make it available upon demand.
@Tiff, I love the way you think :)
@ Tiff, OMG I love your idea! But only if Gini actually makes the calendar so we can all buy a copy hehe. In fact Gini, even if you don't use Milan as a destination can we have the calendar anyway? Pretty please :o)
@ Shrouded Heart I agree that if the big bads come to London they should definitely take out the London Eye!
@Tiff Wow! Someone has put a whole lot of thought into topless AC models :P
That sounds like a perfect scenario. Still need New Orleans at some point because I'm dying to see fuglies at Mardi Gras but Milan should come first.
Gini, if you could get Daniel Dos Santos to do the calendar, you could stop writing and just live off the sales of AC's wearing next to nothing ;)
Wow! There are some great city suggestions on here, esp. Milan, New Orleans & New York City, but...
I'd like to suggest not just (several) cities, but a running battle through a whole State: TEXAS.
[And *not* just because I'd LOVE to see some tall, hot ACs in Texan-wear: long, dark, boot-cut jeans with a big, deeper-meaning belt-buckle, pressed and starched button-down shirt (or no shirt!) with the sleeves rolled up to reveal tanned muscular arms, strong with honest work instead of gym time; some sturdy cowboy boots, and a good hat...]
What was I talking about? Oh, yeah: TEXAS.
Austin is a free-thinking oasis in an ocean of gun-totin' Republicans, choc-full of artists, students, musicians, poets & film makers from every corner of the planet. It's like New York, only without the subways, pollution, ubiquitous yellow cabs, noise, huge buildings, fresh Chinese food delivery...okay, it's nothing like NYC (another GREAT location!!), but it would be an epic base of operations!
There's every kind of landscape, weather, city, country, forest, lake, river, beach, desert, mountain, stream, plain, plateau...what ever you want. Ancient tradition, deep sense of history, founding families, old money, new money, no money, foreign money; oil; wildlife, urban centers, national parks...
There is a huge German contingent in South/Central Texas, including Oktoberfest & Polka, and all.
The various types of Hispanic and South Americans are represented, tons of varieties of caucasians, Native Americans, African Americans, Asians...EVERYONE. And they all make & blend their own kind of music, too!
There's the psycho contingent of armed "alien hunters" along the borders; partying tourists & surfer students down on Padre Island; 5 military bases in San Antonio alone; wide empty stretches of land under a huge, starlit night sky (where no one (or very few individuals) will see the lights & hear the screaming and loud rock music); urban sophisticates; redneck hillbillies; suburbanites; wealthy ranchers; roaming cowboys; cattle drives & Cattle Baron's Balls (!!); Strawberry Festivals; Six Flags over Texas; miles and miles and miles of well-kept, wide-open highway with a 75mph speed limit...
Anyway, T E X A S.
Think about it.
So glad for the giveaway contest! Really looking forward to reading this book (: Gods of Random, shine on me please! :D
Anw, best city for showdown.. Hmm Singapore! It's a small country, so it'll probably be really chaotic. citizens will probably think there's a terrorist attack or something. though i bet the ladies wouldn't mind(hot A-Cs & everything xD)
email:cheleneho@hotmail.com
@Sarah, @Tiff - Yeah the calendar sounds like an awesome idea :)
I'm sure everybody would love multiple copies and there could be a different city/theme for each month.
@Tiff-you're a GENIUS!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I'd say the best place is for a showdown with the Big Bads is the North Pole, Santa would clearly help us out there :). Plus I've always imagined that if encouraged reindeer could be wicked mean, not to mention the helpful nature of elves.
Thanks again!
So I told a number of people at work about the Alien series....I get kind of excited so I think I freaked them out a little bit. Anyway, I told one of them about the Poofs and Martini's first encounter with them and she lolzed. I call that a win.
I'd like to leave you all with a little advice in parting:
When fighting clowns...go for the juggler.
Good luck,
Scarlett
@Stacey, yeah now that would be a great Christmas story :)
You also almost made me spit out my gum when I read the line about the clown. :)
I think Houston Texas-There are tall buildings, bayous, park areas, the Port and NASA just down the road. Lot's to destroy. ; ~ ?
Okee dokee-- how about Nashville, Tennessee. First, they have that fake Parthenon and you could SO do some might cool kick ass stuff in that park making use of the building--possibly even destroying it. *snort* Second, it's got all that crazy country music stuff going on so you could SO use that as witty banter:)
Paris, France, has got to be one of the best cities to have a fight with the Big Bad Aliens. The why is for one its the city of love, you just got to love the place cause of that. Another reason is cause of all the tunnels and sweet places to hide. These make for perfect places to hide and ambush the big baddies when they come after you. The Arch De Triumph has perfect runnels all around it to hide in and ambush aliens. Plus they have the best bakeries there with the best desserts in the world.
K i think Becky should be just kicked out cause she already has 2 ARC's. oh and also why is everyone putting their email i didnt see anything about emails being needed.
@Dragon, I don't know what two ARCs you're speaking of. I've never won an ARC of these books.
I wish I had but alas not yet. :)
@Becky, so then why the comment about you having 3 ARC's?
@Dragon, I never said anything about having three ARCs, I used the word thee (aka the old fashioned way of saying the) in one of my haikus so that's where you might have been confused.
Don't worry I'm no ARC hoarder, if I had one I would be happily reading it and not entering contests for multiple copies. :)
@Becky, oh ok. yeah i got confused. i saw thee as three. OOPS my bad.
Gini:
I'd like to see the Big Bads take Boston. There's a marked trail that runs through the city, The Freedom Trail that stops at 14 different historical sites key to the American Revolution, like the Old North church, Faneuil Hall, the site of the Boston Massacre, Paul Revere's house... http://www.thefreedomtrail.org/visitor/visitor.html
It would be really demoralizing if the Big Bads destroyed the places on the Freedom Trail and the trail itself, to demonstrate that if they can fully take over the US, there's no chance at revolution or uprising. It's slavery by Aliens.
Qu3en8
I say they should show up in California during Comi-Con what better place to hide than in plane sight. Nothing seems odd or out of place at comi-con
Qu3en8
@ Tiff Love it, yours made me crack up laughing
*Strange weird swirling colors and fog. Whats going on, what are these voices I'm hearing. I'm hearing a bunch of random numbers coming from the bunch of random voices." Dragon these are the Gods of Randomness, stop entering for the contest. You will not win, we are sorry,come again." Aww but i really want to win this ARC.*
Gini,
Thanks so much for the contest! I am so excited and cannot wait for the new book!
Sincerely,

Hi Sweets, how you doin today? Yea, yea, everything is fine. Oh I just wanted to call and say hey. mmm hmmm, mmm, hmmm. Well you will not believe what I saw the other day. Oh okay, but I'll make it fast. Well I was tooling down Hollywood Blvd and - yea, yea, I know the place is full of freaks, but I really wanted to go to Fredericks and get that snazzy cut away, I know it will probably never work, but it is a hoot, what? Well anyway I never made it there. I saw the most awesome moving being filmed and had to just hand and watch. The odd thing was I did not see any cameras anywhere, how cool is that? You should have seen the hunk of a stuntman out there bopping around and shooting their toy laser thingies. If I did not know better, I would have thought it was the real thing. Oh man, there were these big bad guys and they were going after what I think were the good guys. How, do I know? Well the hunks are always the good guys aren't they LOL It was incredible, there was blood and all these special effects and everything. No I don't know the name of the movie but I am sure going to watch for it to come out. I can just imagine what it will look like on the big screen! You know I always thought the special effects were done in a studio, but wow. Oh okay, you gotta go, sure sure no problem. Hey you want to meet up for drinks later? Okay, I got a couple of pics of the hunk I just gotta show you! Okay later sweets, see you there.

Now, you youngsters are going to give me a complex. You went and started ANOTHER contest without waiting for me. I know that I'm old and a little slow, but give me a break.
Detroit's the place for a great showdown. So much of the place is deserted that you could blow up a few dozen buildings without doing more than traumatize some rats.
@meghanweber - While I still like the idea of using Detroit, the New Yorker in me loves the idea of a battle in Boston! They would have a great battlefield in the Boston Common, they can destroy Fenway Park, have a tussle at Bunker Hill, destroy Fenway Park, seriously damage whatever they're calling the Boston Garden these days, destroy Fenway Park. All kinds of stuff. They could even level Fenway Park!
Haiku Ode to Kitty
Fuglies wanna brawl
Who you gonna call
Kitty Martini!
You kids and your dad-blamed hi-koo stuff are too much. Give me old-time, epic poetry...like something from one of my favorite poets, Roger Miller:
They say that roses are red and violets are purple
Sugar's sweet, and so's maple surple
I'm the 7th out of 7 sons
My pappy was a pistol, I'm a son of a gun!
Not only is that bee-yoo-ti-full poetry, it has every bit as much to do with the site of the battle as your Ode. (Billy Joe was pretty good for odes, too!)
You just can't find any good foils when you need 'em, ya know? Where's Duckie when I need her????
@ratkin, I made a special poem for you. :)
Limerick for Ratkin
There once was a rat from the sewer
he rolled around in manure
He smelled like a sock
That's not a shock
Of this I can assure.
Is it wrong that I wish I was an evil computer genius that knew how to hack into computers...
Why you ask?
Cause I would hack into Gini's blog and delete all your comments so I could win this book....
I NEED MY CHRISTOPHER FIX!!!!!!!!!!!
*on knees begging* Please oh Gods of Random Please, Please, Please pick me!!!!!!!!!
*sigh*
Kelly
@Kelly, no not an evil thought at all, I'm sure we're all thinking the same thing. Just remember there's 4 ARC up for grabs not just one. :)
This comment has been removed by the author.
Wonder what would happen if the baddies went to Disney Land what would Goofy do? Could we wear 3d goggles and really enjoy the fun LOL What would Tink have to say about the fuglies - don't think it would be Blah, Blah, Blah :)
dz59001[at]gmail[dot]com
@Becky - Gee, thanks for the sorry-ass personalized excuse for a poem. And how, exactly, was the bottom of the barrel while you were looking for rhymes?
A) I'm not from the sewer, I'm from The Home.
B) I'm in a sewer and rolling in manure and I smell like...a SOCK???
C) Old folks such as myself like to at least pretend to have a strong sense of propriety. That being the case, I'm better off leaving out what this was going to say. Stick with just A & B.
Next time you feel moved to write me a poem, re-read A & B until the feeling passes. It would be a mitzvah.
@ratkin :)
Another poem for you :)
The Propriety of Ratkin
Ratkin from the home
Old and crotchety alone
Keep on fighting on
A place for the big showdown the moon or Wisconsin were I live. I really love your book's.
moebude@gmail.com
@ Marty - I'm sure Gini could make a fortune from a calendar if Daniel Dos Santos did it but please, please don't suggest she stops writing if she does. Then we'd have no more Kitty & Martini to look forward too *Cries* lol
@ Becky - yup I'd definitely be up for buying multiple copies hehe
@ Stacey - LMAO at the idea of having santa help fighting the big bads! The reindeer could put good use to their antlers couldn't they!
I'm still giving my vote for the big bads to come to London but to be fair it doesn't really matter where they end up going - if Martini is there I'll be reading :o)
Good luck in the giveaway everyone (but not too much luck because I NEED one of those arcs lol)
@Becky - Oooohhhhh...another Hi-phooey! Last poetry I saw that resembled that one had the words "Burma Shave" at the end of it. (There was actually one more recently, but it was on the bottom of the bed pan and the Housekeeping people made such a fuss that I never got to read the whole thing.)
By the by, that contest named Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger keeps reminding of the old joke about the difference between a hooker, a mistress and a wife. If you weren't all so young I'd probably tell it.
@Becky,
I really want that book... *stomps foot*
Besides a girl can never have to many copies of one book...
What could I do with 4 ARC's of AP???
@ratkin :)Thank you thank you.
Okay how about just a modified line from the show COPS:
Ratkin, Ratkin
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do
When the orderlies come for you. :)
@Kelly I feel your pain I too want this ARC.
Well if you had 4 you could build a tower or some kind of temple to the series. :)
*slides in under the wire, risking life and limb for one last go at it*
Whew! Did I make it before the deadline? Last idea for showdown - Trinity, TX. Why? Because the AC's and the fuglies could wreak total havok and nobody would care because it's Podunk. I'd appreciate it though, if they could leave the library alone since that's where my wife works... and all of Gini's Kitty & Martini books are there.
Tell Jeff and the gang to watch out for cow poop :P
Hi Gini!
I know I'll be reading this one multiple times like I've read all your novels so far. I absolutely love reading your books and wait impatiently for the next one to come out.
@Becky - You need to go visit some old person in a place like The Home one of this days, kiddo. Orderlies? What are they? We have one RN, who gives out the "let's knock the Old Farts out so we can go on break and watch the tube" pills, a handful of LPNs (that's "Let's Play Nurse," for the uninitiated), and a shitload of aides who get hired, get sick of the place, and quit so fast that you can't keep track of their names. And when they come for you, you grin and bear it. Or bare it, as the case may be.
@Becky - In our discussion of poetry earlier, I totally forgot the works of one of my favorites, Dorothy Parker. Here's a short sample, but one that really 'speaks' to those of us in The Home:
Razors pain you
rivers are damp
acids stain you
and drugs cause cramp
Guns aren't lawful
nooses give
gas smells awful
you might as well live.
@Ratkin, Nice, Well here's hoping you win an ARC to ease your suffering but only if I win one too of course. :)
OH NOES! Last day?! Time goes by so quickly!
I'm liking all the poems and stuff, haven't written a poem myself in awhile...
There was a little girl
Who had a little curl
And a can of hairspray
A brown belt
And a propensity to spout insane ideas to beat Fuglies.
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on her tuffet
Eating her curds and way(?)
Now if Miss Muffet had been Miss Katt
She'd step up to bat
And squash that spider flat
And finish her porriage
...cause that's how she rolls.
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pale of water.
So Kitty went up there and got her.
whoohoo, Alien Nursury Rhymes, yeah!
Lol, messed up that last "poem" ...more than usual anywhay. Let me edit:
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pale of water.
Jill got kidnapped by evil Amazons.
So Kitty went up and got her.
Better yes? No?
Hey, I warned you. ^_~
Can't tell you how excited I am for this novel! Winning would be great, but as long as I own it sometime - who cares? LOL
Can't wait for the book! My hubby will attempt to steal it, but I read faster than he does!
@Becky~Yessss, white wet t-shirts :)
