The Year of the Bomb by Ronald Kidd

September 14th, 2009 · No Comments

Zombie extras are slouching through the streets of Paul’s hometown, Sierra Madre, California. Paul and his friends are there everyday after school to watch the filming of the movie, Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Not only do they get to meet some of the stars, they end up being “zombie” extras in the final scene, they discover an FBI agent spying on the movie crew, and end up doing some spying of their own on a famous scientist who helped invent the atomic bomb and may just be working as a double-agent for the United States of America’s Cold War enemy, Russia. You’ll enjoy this crazy book about movies and life in the 1950s, that could make a great movie of its own.
