Nuclear Jellyfish: A Novel
Description
“Dorsey’s brilliantly, profanely funny 11th novel…zips along like P.G. Wodehouse’s best work.”
—Richmond Times-Dispatch
Tim Dorsey’s outrageously zany, gleefully violent, and uproariously funny Nuclear Jellyfish marks the triumphant return of lovable, thrill-killing Florida historian and tireless civic booster Serge A. Storms. The bestselling author of Atomic Lobster, Triggerfish Twist, and Florida Roadkill, Dorsey can match Carl Hiaasen punch-for-punch when it comes to fictionally depicting Sunshine State madness—and he’s taken his rightful place alongside Christopher Moore in the pantheon of top American humorists. Nuclear Jellyfish is a veritable WMD of radioactive hilarity—as Denver’s Rocky Mountain News so aptly puts it, “It doesn’t get any better.”
|Just when you thought it was safe to go online, Serge A. Storms has returned! The lovable collector of trivia, souvenirs, and murder methods is upset that his beloved state isn't getting its proper recognition, so he signs on with the big Internet travel services. Soon Serge sets up his own wildcat of Florida site, hyper-blogging his way down the coast with his perpetually hammered sidekick, Coleman.
Unfortunately, Serge's Web presence catches the attention of his neme-sis, Agent Mahoney, and the chase is on. When professional robbery crews begin targeting trade show exhibitors, bodies begin piling up. Serge has had enough! He's forced into the only logical course of action—go shopping at Home Depot.

“Brace yourselves, everyone. Serge Storms has discovered the Internet. . . . Now, with Nuclear Jellyfish, Dorsey’s brilliantly, profanely funny 11th novel, Serge storms the digital firewalls meant to keep sociopaths off the Information Superhighway. . . . zips along like P.G. Wodehouse’s best work.” - Richmond Times-Dispatch
“An insane plot . . . Somehow it all manages to hold together . . . The book is loaded with Serge’s wit and wisdom . . . if you couldn’t stop laughing when Bugs Bunny shot Elmer Fudd in the face, this is the writer you’ve been looking for.” - Lisa Ko, author of The Leavers
“As inventive as ever . . . An entertaining addition to a collection of books that, in the long run, may well be viewed as valuable if unconventional treasure troves of all things Florida.” - St. Petersburg Times
“Dorsey’s novels are in their own niche that other mystery authors, even those who write comic crime tales, can’t touch. . . . a take no-prisoners, high-octane story.” - Florida Sun-Sentinel
“Another wild ride…. Florida’s wackiest fictional vigilante sociopath, Serge A. Storms, has returned, fully caffeinated and obsessed by a fresh new gripe: The Internet….” - Tampa Tribune
