Publisher's summary

He’s a Vietnam vet, with a new lease on life. To fight an out-of-this-world invasion, he’ll need a little help from his friends...

Albert Jenkins never cared much for bureaucrats and politicians. So, when the Galactic Congress refuses to act on the illegal invasion of Earth by parasitic aliens, he does what any self-respecting vet would do - he steals a spaceship. But when AJ and a snarky pop culture-loving alien companion are pursued by space cops, he does the only rational thing he can come up with. He strategically crash-lands on a junkyard moon.

When he finally make it back home with what he hopes is a cure for the occupying parasites, he discovers the situation is worse than expected. The microscopic invaders have redoubled their efforts to strip Earth of critical resources, yet are undiscovered by humanity.

Knowing that time is in short supply, AJ calls on his network of crusty yet elite buddies from 'Nam. Fortunately, it does not take much convincing to get these aging patriots to saddle up one more time to kick some alien ass. With youth restored, this elite squad of old vets will pit themselves against an unseen enemy. The question is - can they put an end to this global invasion, once and for all?

Old Dogs, Older Tricks is the second book in the wild Junkyard Pirate space opera series. If you like sarcastic heroes, hilarious extraterrestrial sidekicks, and ragtag military units, then you’ll love Jamie McFarlane’s epic adventure.

is he a soldier or a marine?

love the story, and the author, I've enjoyed most of his books but as a vet I wish he'd pick which service aj fought with at area 51 he was a marine and was 2 different mos in the army, don't care what he can do just be one, or I guess we can have multiple tours changing branches whatever

Good story

Some of the character reactions are a little overdramatic, (the military officers especally) but overall a good light story

Great story!

Good people, good story. Fun read!! really enjoyed this book! Glad there are more books

awesome story. can't wait for next installment.

Enjoyed it. can't wait for next book. Naramore was great as usual. I enjoy the magic these two guys bring to my drives.

Fun sequel

This is a fun sequel to Junkyard Pirate. I hope there will be more in the series!

Book 2 was just as good if not better than Book 1!

Great second book as the story lined continued. I will have to listen to both books again to soak more of them in. I hate to see the adventure end but maybe there will be a book three I hope!

8 words remaining
why can't a review be short and to the point?
cool new slant on an old plot without the horror of the old.

Scify is disease, war, to body snatures and humor?

This was fun to listen to. Usually I turn a blind eye to these kinds of tall tales with piss and vinager and repeating paragraphs due to (maybe) a lack of memory or dyslexia that I sffer from? But I still enjoy so many other aspects of this two tale novels of this interesting adventure novels that it would be wonderful if this author would go back and write a 3rd novel?

Then convincing the same narrator to reading another story about more like the other 2 novels. Bring these chactors back together again? Is that too much? Maybe that's a little overboard, but I live near the ocean and play guitar? How much fun is that?

Still and entertaining, but a little lacking

This book felt a little rushed. I did not agree with some of the leaps in logic or character reactions, especially with the Jane and Thomas debacle. In the first book I found myself giggling quite a lot whereas in this one I found myself saying no more often than not. I am still continuing on I will finish the series because I am still enjoying it, and would like to know where it goes.
