Job: A Comedy of Justice
reviewed on + 24 more book reviews


After that firewalking gig in Polynesia the whole world was suddenly changed around him. Instead of fundamentalist minister Alexander Hergensheimer, he was now supposed to be Alec Graham, an underworld figure in the middle of an affair with his stewardess Margrethe - who was the only good thing in the whole mess.

Then there was an impossible iceberg that wrecked the ship in the tropics. Rescued by a Royal Mexican plane they were next hit by a double earthquake. From then on, as changed world followed changed world, things went from bad to worse.

Somewhere there had to be a solution to it all.

And of course, there was.

But it was truly a Hell of as solution.
