Having survived zombies and aliens in previous volumes, the people of Sitting Duck are ready to elect a new mayor and make a fresh start. But when a supervillain scientist mind-controls the townspeople, Sam and friends have to rescue everyone again. Silly dialogue, slapstick humor, and cartoony illustrated character profiles preclude any sense of real danger in this lighthearted sci-fi romp.
