Overview: A “laugh-out-loud” dark comedy that mocks the greed and corruption of modern-day Florida, this novel is frequently compared to the works of Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey.
The story kicks off when a hot-shot action movie star, Thor Lobo, is struck by lightning and killed on a Florida golf course. His death triggers a chain of chaotic events in the small town of Nero:
The “Miracle”: A developer discovers ancient bones that local residents quickly—and without evidence—declare to be the remains of the “Original Adam and Eve.”
The Theme Park: This discovery leads to the rapid construction of the “Holy Garden of Eden Faith & Fun Park,” a preposterous theme park that starts generating massive amounts of cash.
The Chaos: A cast of eccentric characters—including a corrupt “shoot-’em-on-sight” Governor, his maniacally promiscuous wife (“Prostitution is legal, right?”), and various greedy “patriots”—all fight, maim, and kill to get a piece of the theme park’s profits.
The fun and the characters are irresistible proof that we’re living in a hot boiling blend of America today.
