On the Subject of Human Beings Christopher B Shay

"On the Subject of Human Beings" is about love, shoon, death, and spite. Sands is an alien researcher holing up on the empty Earth and finishing his dissertation on humankind-the extinct species he was studying. But the lonesome, unsympathetic xenothropologist finds himself coerced into attempting-yet again-to rescue the subjects of his paper. When Sands journeys to a time before a zombie epidemic ended human life on Earth, he discovers mysteries behind the apocalypse. With visions of a lost love before him, scents of a loose virus behind him, and memories of loose lips linked to his false hips everywhere he turns, Sands reluctantly quests to save the thesis-monkeys. This short comic novel mentions William Shakespeare by name as it wends its way to a not-too-expensive conclusion.
