Nuclear Jellyfish

Tim Dorsey

"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."

Praise for this book

"A no-holds-barred journey through Florida's underbelly" - Seattle Times
"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
