Atomic Lobster: A Novel (Serge a. Storms)
Dorsey's 10th novel to feature Serge A. Storms and Coleman (after 2007'sHurricane Punch) offers sex, violence, more violence and Three Stooges&ndash;like action. After meeting up with Rachael, a stripper and drug addict, Serge and Coleman, bored and broke, take a Florida road trip. Meanwhile, several other characters, destined to converge, start their own treks: killer Tex McGraw, sprung from prison with revenge on his mind; empty-nesters Jim and Martha Davenport, seeking a little excitement; the G-Unit, a group of investing grannies who like to cruise; three American drug dealers and three Mexican drug dealers, with a new smuggling operation; and two Davis Islands residents, one a famous ex-football player. Recurring fave Johnny Vegas pops up, too, along with several government agencies. While Dorsey's brand of comedy isn't for the faint of heart, this fast-moving, raucous tale delivers its usual punch while gleefully skewering everyone and everything along the way.(Feb.)Copyright &copy; Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
