Island of the Sequined Love Nun

Meer over het boek

Tucker Case, a pilot for Mary Jean Cosmetics, finds himself in a dire situation after a drunken escapade at a Seattle airport leads to a disastrous crash of his shocking pink jet. With his flying license revoked and his life in shambles, he faces the wrath of Mary Jean Dobbins and her corporate henchmen. Desperate for work, he takes a job piloting a Lear jet for a dubious medical missionary and a striking High Priestess on a remote Micronesian island. His journey is fraught with danger, as he encounters spies, cannibals, and journalists, all while traveling with his Filipino transvestite navigator and a fruit bat named Roberto. They navigate shark-infested waters and a typhoon, all before Tuck's first day of work. This offbeat adventure explores themes of cargo cults, religious fervor, and pyramid schemes, showcasing the author's signature humor and wit. Christopher Moore, known for his previous novels, brings readers a delightfully absurd tale filled with eccentric characters and wild escapades.
