About Akhmed and the Atomic Matzo Balls
Paperback: 370 pages
Publisher: Travelers’ Tales/Solas House (March 27, 2012)
Iranian president Akhmed teams up with the leaders of Venezuela and Cuba and their American intelligence agents to smuggle radioactive matzo balls into Miami Beach. But intelligence being as slippery a concept to these nincompoops as chicken fat on linoleum, when each member of the gang decides to ladle out his own personal nuke soup, holy terror Akhmed is left steaming. Will his plan to destroy America float like a fly or sink like a lead dumpling?
Star-crossed lovers, conniving academics, and blustery social climbers collide with ravenous termites, international do-badders, and multi-level marketing in a plot as fast-paced and hilarious as a runaway mountain bus.
Roll along with these noodling crockpots as they dribble their way toward international chaos—peppering their antics with mayhem, destruction, and…well, pepper.
Radioactivity has never been so much fun.
