Good News From Outer Space is a science fiction novel by American writer John Kessel. It is predominantly a satire 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. The book was described as "madcap" and containing "gonzo plotting", which lent itself well to the satirical points Kessel was trying to make.
