Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Hilariously Outrageous This might be a very serious account of the capable, routine performance of public function by seasoned career bureaucrats. But it isn't. It's the lampooning misadventure of recent engineering graduate Bill Rossy, who only wants to succeed in his first job, pay off his education debt and start forming a career. Instead, corporate tyranny and highly irregular, probably illegal, government practices send the tyro around the world on a wild chase of covertly bogus duty and self-preservation. Follow the young subordinate as he drifts out to sea in Maryland, is threatened by carnivorous donkeys in the South Atlantic, escapes an attack of dump dogs in the ruins of ancient Greece, survives a port bombing in Korea and dances for chicken in th Philippines. Let him guide you on a bizarre journey through the lows of post-college poverty to the highs of inexplicably lucrative public service. Enjoy the trip.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. John Johnson, head of Framus Life Insurance, has a difficulty. Policyholders die, their beneficiaries collect. That's a problem. The solution: hire a voodoo priest to raise the policyholders from the dead. Insurance doesn't cover zombies, so no more payouts. But Johnson stiffs the priest. Infuriated, the priest leads the undead to jump in a radioactive swamp. Now atomic zombies emerge from the marsh and seem unstoppable. But private dick, Ace Anvil has an idea.
