Playing Horseshoes With Aliens is a comedy novel by John Parker. Finn was alone in the bingo hall, celebrating his sixtieth birthday, when he saw a stunning woman named Jackie. Soon they start to bond over friendly conversation but are interrupted by Finn's friend, Dale. Suddenly, a guy with a big black cowboy hat and a banjo strapped to his back grabs the mike and starts playing the instrument. Dale starts dancing and the crowd begins laughing and clapping loudly. Amidst all the fun, when a loud bang and a puff of white smoke happen, Dale stands alone on the stage. When he looks down at his hand, he finds a mysterious address imprinted on his palm. Filled with enthusiasm, he travels to the address with Finn and Jackie. But there, they unexpectedly find themselves in a crazy alien contest fighting against shadow thugs. Surprisingly, the guy playing the banjo in the bingo hall is their astrophysical host, striving to make the challenges far more exciting. If they win, the prize will aid mankind's existence; if not, the thugs will use it for their dark agenda.

This book has a humorous tone throughout, which is contagious. The plot, with its authentic feel, describes the hilarious adventures of three senior citizens while they take part in a crazy alien contest, aspiring to win the prize to aid mankind. The sci-fi elements of the plot make it all the more interesting, and the names of the games, like finding horseshoes and lizard run, are hilarious. Moreover, the situational comedy scenes from Dale using a pungent-smelling cologne to repel the aliens to Jackie and Dale discussing long-distance space relationships makes the plot gripping and more enjoyable. Amidst the ongoing comic exchanges, the protagonists evolve to test their limits until the end of the adventurous journey, raising the level of suspense. The book has well-developed characters.
