Roscoe is a hot rod-riding zombie, an undead gearhead and defender of the small Southern California town of La Cruz in the Freewheeling Fifties. Along with his friends, college age witch Betty Bright, Zoot Suiter shaman Angel Rey, and former bank robber Wooster Stokes, Roscoe takes on monsters and magic with motors and mayhem.
But now, a simple government job to capture a runaway rocket scientist and a stolen experimental flying saucer sends Roscoe and his friends into their toughest job yet. They’ll go up against ruthless Las Vegas gangsters, an insane alien-worshipping cult, a top secret government agency devoted to stealth and slaughter, and bizarre creatures from other worlds in their cross country mission to rescue a captured alien being and save the world from extraterrestrial destruction and an impending apocalypse.

I was quite surprised at how fun Detour to Apocalypse was, and how much I liked the characters right off the bat. They're a perfectly stereotypical '50's bunch, with a surprising amount of personality for such a short story.
That really was my only complaint about the whole story... it was very short. It left me hoping for another immediately, as a good serial novel would.
Definitely on my list of books/serials to keep an eye out for in the future.
