Island of the Sequined Love Nun

"This laugh-a-minute roller coaster of a book is almost impossible to describe. If it were a movie, it might be billed something like this: Indiana Jones played by Groucho Marx, screenplay by Edgar Allan Poe, based on a story by Robert Ludlum and Stephen King"
I couldn't say it better myself.
"Christopher Moore's fourth novel is 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 bubmling hero is Tucker Case - 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. What follows is satirical, suspenseful, and certifiably insand as Tuck pursues the only employment opportunity left for him: piloting shady secret missions for an unscrupulous medical missionary and a sexy blond High Priestess on the remotet of Micronesian island hells."

Ah-ha! Caught MrKeister reading this. And he read the entire book - he is a person who can set one down if he does not like it.
This book is being shipped to Nome to one of our fellows on a job out there.
Being Goldstreaked, mind you. That's fast!
So anyway, I have to ship some equipment out there and am including at least one book.
I've sent a number of other books to job sites, but haven't had the time to register them all. Ah well, as long as books are out there for people, that's a good thing.
