Good News From Outer Space is a science fiction novel by American writer John Kessel. It is predominantly a satire[2] telling the story of a resurrected reporter, George Eberhart, investigating alien involvement on Earth just prior to worldwide hysteria surrounding the countdown to the year 2000.[1] The book was described as "madcap" and containing "gonzo plotting", which lent itself well to the satirical points Kessel was trying to make.[3]
