Island of the sequined love nun

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.

  • "Eine Insel in der Südsee, Palmen, Strand, eine atemberaubende Blondine und ein paar Wilde: das Paradies auf Erden. Allerdings nicht für Pilot Tuck, den geborenen Verlierer. Die Eingeborenen entpuppen sich als Kannibalen, und die Sexbombe als pures Gift. Doch das ist noch nicht alles - ein skrupelloser Arzt missbraucht die Insulaner für seine Geschäfte. Zusammen mit einem verrückten Transvestiten und der Fledermaus Roberto plant Tuck die Rettung der Inselbewohner... Der ehemalige Journalist Christopher Moore arbeitete als Dachdecker, Kellner, Fotograf und Versicherungsvertreter, bevor er anfing, Romane zu schreiben. Seine Bücher haben in Amerika längst Kultstatus, und auch im deutschsprachigen Raum wächst die Fangemeinde beständig. Christopher Moore liebt - nach eigenen Angaben - den Ozean, Elefanten-Polo, Käsecracker, Acid Jazz und das Kraulen von Fischottern. Er mag aber weder Salmonellen noch Autoverkehr und erst recht nicht gemeine Menschen. Der Autor lebt in San Francisco, Kalifornien."
