About this ebook

The Republicans' "golden boy" -- and a loyal, unquestioning tool of the powerful special interests -- handsome, unthreatening, Florida governor-by-default Marlon Conrad seems a virtual shoo-in for re-election. That is, until he undergoes a radical personality shift during a bloody military action in the Balkans. Now it's just three weeks before the election and Marlon is suddenly talking about "issues" and "reform" as he crosses the length and breadth of his home state with an amnesiac speechwriter and a chief of staff who turns catatonic in the presence of minorities. The governor's new-found conscience might well cost him the election, though. And it appears that pretty much everybody from Tallahassee to Miami Beach is trying to kill him...

Ratings and reviews

The third Serve A Storms comedy road trip, certainly one of the zaniest political satires ever written. The one liners are fast and furious (I especially loved that puppet joke during sex!). May Serge Never Stop Killing!

Don't be fooled by Coco comments, she must not have actually read book. It does indeed have that zany serial killer, Serge A. Storms, in the novel. Fun read, and one of my favorite Serge novels.

I completed the entire series at one time. Serge is far more creative than Dexter. He runs for Govenor of Florida in one book.
