Well, the full title is Undercover Trucker: How I Saved America by Truckin’ Towels for the Taliban. Intrigued?
For his second Podiobook, Bill Schmalfeldt goes from the sublime to the ridiculous. His follow-up to the non-fiction “No Doorway Wide Enough” is this fanciful, hilarious narrative, voiced by disgraced, former alcoholic truck driver Billy Big Rig (who can never reveal his real name because everyone wants to kill him) who — if he is to be believed — infiltrated a terror cell, went to Afghanistan, and single-handedly saved America from another terror attack in the days after 9/11. Along the way, he shares his philosophy about life, love, truckstop meals and waitresses, men’s room protocol, how he killed the REAL Saddam Hussein, and his many, many marriages. This will probably be the most politically-incorrect book you will read or hear all year. Definitely not for the kiddies, mostly for language, violence, and brief nudity. If you download this book and are offended, it’s YOUR fault, not the author’s! You’ve been warned. But if you like a bawdy, action-packed story, told by a character who is one part Stephen Colbert, one part Archie Bunker, one part Forrest Gump, one part John Wayne and 100 percent AMERICAN MAN, then you’ll LOVE “Undercover Trucker: How I Saved America by Truckin’ Towels for the Taliban.” In a manly way, I mean. Billy doesn’t swing that way. That sh*t just ain’t right!
WARNING TO THE SATIRE IMPAIRED: You will need ALL your satire glands in order to enjoy this.

Oh, and I forgot to add…..I loved Billy Big Rig, and missed him. I used a description of Billy on an online dating website as my ideal mate, but got no takers. Go figure.

A novel that covers a lot of ground. Similar to podibooks by Greg Crites but with less humor. The first half of the book was amusing but the second half turned into ignorant and offensive rather than comical ravings.
The book No Doorway Too Wide by the same author was really amazing, but I feel this was a half hearted attempt to follow-up on his original success.

Chris has the right to his opinion, of course, and I’m glad he enjoyed “No Doorway” — but the CHARACTER of Billy Big Rig IS ignorant and offensive … a fact that is set out for the listener in the description of each download. To be surprised by Billy’s ignorant offensiveness after being warned in advance seems rather odd…
Oh, and point of fact, Undercover Trucker was written years ago and is fiction (no matter WHAT Billy says…) No Doorway is true life.
I ask that fellow readers respect Chris’s opinion, but listen to it for themselves. But you are warned. Billy is not the most likable fellow you’re gonna meet at the truck stop.
