Book description
Take a wonderfully crazed excursion into the demented heart of a
tropical paradise - a world of cargo cults, cannibals, mad scientists,
ninjas, and talking fruit bats. Our bumbling hero is Tucker Case, a
hopeless geek trapped in a cool guy's body, who makes a living as a
pilot for the Mary Jean Cosmetics Corporation. But when he demolishes
his boss's pink plane during a drunken airborne liaison, Tuck must run
for his life from Mary Jean's goons. Now there's only one employment
opportunity left for him: piloting shady secret missions for an
unscrupulous medical missionary and a sexy blond high priestess on the
remotest of Micronesian hells. Here is a brazen, ingenious, irreverent,
and wickedly funny novel from a modern master of the outrageous.
Christopher Moore began writing at the age of six and became the oldest
known child prodigy when, in his early thirties, he published his first
novel. Chris enjoys cheese crackers, acid jazz, and otter scrubbing and
lives in an inaccessible island fortress in the Pacific.
