"The tiny Northeast island of Bismuth keeps getting smaller for Orange Whippey. Stranded on Wreck Rock, a bad day only gets worse when Orange is conscripted into service on board the Wendy's Mom. After a drunken fall from the ruins of a navy ship and the ill-advised ingestion of a stimulating new drug, Orange is rescued by Angie Bombardier, a fetching and forthright fellow Islander. But with the arrival of Snorri, a Finlindian whale herder on a quest to find the fabled Hyperborea, and Waldena, a harpoon wielding Thor-cult priestess, the waters surrounding Bismuth get rough and Orange finds himself at the center of a search for a missing package. Rumors swirl and dangers escalate, turning the serene isle upside-down. For things to be set right again, the package must be found and given to its rightful recipient. . . [] A vast North Atlantic is teeming with mythical whales and epic tales. Cruising the open water, Orange drinks gallons of coffee and beer, barbeques squid, and even stumbles into a sweltering sauna with the alluring Bombardier sisters. Aboard the Honeypaws, he is set on course to encounter an ancient council that is helping secretly create the WhaleNet, a cell phone network made of migrating whales. The council's possible ulterior motives could hold the surprising and bizarre resolution to Orange's journey. [] Drawing from the various satiric traditions of Neil Gaiman, Thomas Pynchon, and Christopher Moore, SWELL is full of legend and lore, big fish stories, and unforgettable humor." [flap copy] "This delightfully loopy debut combines Down East deadpan with elements of Nordic mythology and Pynchonesque pyrotechnics. Ericson's Maine coastal setting lies at the edge of the surreal."--Publishers Weekly. "Jaunty, playful, hilarious and eminently readable, SWELL is much more than an auspicious debut, it's that rarest of birds, a good old-fashioned reading pleasure."--Jonathan Evison. "Orange himself reads like Pynchon's Doc Sportello. Add a splash of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, too . . . A superbly crafted mixture of humor and observations of modern life, a combination of barely-noticeable detective fiction and magical realism, something uniquely its own and, in the end, a truly good read. SWELL is a fantastic novel."--Line Zero. Pristine paperback w/sharp corners & crisp edges, French flaps, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine.…
