Publisher 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.

"My favorite Chris Moore book. Whacky and fun and zany. Full of characters (including a talking fruit bat) that you can't help but enjoy. I read this book for the simple joy of reading. It won't change the world, but it'll the world a bit more laughable while you turn the pages. "

    " Also quite funny. I will definitely read more Christopher Moore books. Similar to Lamb in many ways, but also very different. A great book for the beach - even though that is not where I read it. "
