For playwright Stanley H. Noonan, life was just one long losing streak of Broadway flops, a failed marriage to a Hollywood sex symbol (paging Arthur Miller!), and a voyage to the bottom of a very big whiskey bottle. But one bright sunny day, all that changed in the blink of an eye. A long forgotten play of Stanley's was about to be turned into a major motion picture, and he had just met the new love of his life. Ain't that a kick in the pants? The only catch was, the world was coming to an end at midnight. And, oh yeah, there were a couple of goofy cowboys from another planet who wanted to disintegrate his head with a ray gun. Can Stanley survive the giant Death Cloud (there's always a giant Death Cloud in stories like this), escape the crazed cowboys with their awfully big ray guns that shoot green gobs of fire, plus save the world (actually, a bunch of parallel worlds, if you must know), and still get the girl?
