Hurricane Punch
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Welcome to another typical summer in Florida, the season of the storms. Serge Storms.
That loveable, under-under-medicated dispenser of truth, justice, and trivia is back with a vengeance. And not a weirdness-laced moment too soon.
His cherished home state is about to take a beating, and from far more than the way-too-routine conga line of hurricanes bearing down on the peninsula. Corpses have begun turning up at a disturbing rate, even for Florida, and it looks like a brutal serial killer is on the loose. Serge vows to stop at nothing in his juggernaut to make All Things Right...except if he gets bored or distracted by a cool souvenir or...or a...whatever.
But his path won't be obstacle free.
Agent Mahoney has picked up the scent. The obsessive criminal profiler is convinced there is no second killer. Then there's Coleman, whose triathlete approach to the sport of polyabuse binging just might derail the mission more than the entire police community put together. The pace picks up. Winds howl, TV reporters fly around the beach, and questions mount: Who's stalking Tampa Bay's most sensitive journalist? Do multiple orgasms improve storm tracking? Why is the feeding-tube guy so quiet? All of which ultimately leads to the most pressing question on everyone's new-millennium lips: What would Serge do?

Welcome to another typical summer in Florida, the season of the storms. Serge Storms.
That loveable, under-under-medicated dispenser of truth, justice, and trivia is back with a vengeance. And not a weirdness-laced moment too soon.
His cherished home state is about to take a beating, and from far more than the way-too-routine conga line of hurricanes bearing down on the peninsula. Corpses have begun turning up at a disturbing rate, even for Florida, and it looks like a brutal serial killer is on the loose. Serge vows to stop at nothing in his juggernaut to make All Things Right...except if he gets bored or distracted by a cool souvenir or...or a...whatever.
But his path won't be obstacle free.
Agent Mahoney has picked up the scent. The obsessive criminal profiler is convinced there is no second killer. Then there's Coleman, whose triathlete approach to the sport of polyabuse binging just might derail the mission more than the entire police community put together. The pace picks up. Winds howl, TV reporters fly around the beach, and questions mount: Who's stalking Tampa Bay's most sensitive journalist? Do multiple orgasms improve storm tracking? Why is the feeding-tube guy so quiet? All of which ultimately leads to the most pressing question on everyone's new-millennium lips: What would Serge do?

- content: One of the best at exposing society's absurdities, Tim Dorsey does it again with HURRICANE PUNCH. Serge A. Storms, a serious whack-job serial killer, and his supremely stoned sidekick, Coleman, are on the road again, this time chasing hurricanes in Florida. Oliver Wyman's performance offers up a rollicking good time for fans of this dynamic duo. There's a serial killer on the loose who's getting all the headlines, and Serge is outraged by comparisons to his work. Serge has scruples, after all. He only kills those who need killing, like the boor who won't turn down his car stereo or the ghoul selling bags of ice to hurricane victims. Wyman's performance provides laugh-out-loud moments, but be warned: Dorsey's offbeat humor may offend those with delicate sensibilities. S.J.H.

December 11, 2006
Scathing humor strips the pretense off its targets like a hurricane in
\t\t bestseller Dorsey's rapid-fire ninth thriller. Last seen in
\t\t The Big Bamboo (2006), serial killer Serge
\t\t A. Storms, who seems like all of the Marx brothers rolled into one, rumbles
\t\t across Florida in a stolen Hummer with his usually drunk or stoned friend,
\t\t Coleman. Serge follows one hurricane after another, driving in the relatively
\t\t safe eye of the storm, pointing out fascinating bits of Florida history and
\t\t only killing those who truly deserve it. That would include the guy in the car
\t\t next to you blasting his music as well as the person price-gouging hurricane
\t\t victims. The murders are accomplished in appropriately bizarre, if not graphic,
\t\t fashion. As Serge evades law enforcement and perennial nemesis Agent Mahoney,
\t\t his latest road trip allows him to skewer everything from President Bush to
\t\t fast food establishments, with particular emphasis given to the foibles of the
\t\t media (newspapers) for which Dorsey once worked. 13-city author tour.

Wyman has a daunting assignment: finding the right voice for Dorsey's larger-than-life antihero, Serge A. Storms, a likable, certifiably insane serial killer who rarely stops talking long enough to breathe. Wyman settles on just the right combination of tones for the screwball sociopath's generally amusing rants against government, the media, marriage and ignorant cops. At first, Storms seems like just another motormouth Florida crime crazy, but Dorsey makes us move past his verbal diarrhea to the oddly honorable, moral, blissfully happy man who just happens to be a raving wacko. Wyman undercuts the character's in-your-face boorish nattering with a redemptive exuberance and a winning joy of life. He also has no trouble delineating supporting characters like a dazed and reluctant newspaper reporter; a dim, dogged federal agent on Storms's trail; a pompous news executive; several neurotic psychologists; and another serial killer in the area. The result may not be a masterwork of suspense—there's never a doubt that Storms will prevail against knife, gun or twister—but you couldn't ask for a funnier guide to the Sunshine State, with or without hurricane. Simultaneous release with the Morrow hardcover (Reviews, Dec. 11).

February 15, 2007
Dorsey's ninth novel to feature irrepressible Florida serial killer Serge A. Storm offers another utterly over-the-top blend of slapstick, satire, and mayhem. After a raucous adventure in Hollywood, Storm and his dumbed-down, liquored-up sidekick Coleman return to their native state, wreaking havoc as they chase hurricanes and kill civilians up and down the coast. Alas, it seems another local loco has made up his twisted mind to vie for the distinction of Florida's "most wanted." Dorsey's cast of characters reads like a psychiatrist's dream. Among them: Agent Mahoney, an obsessive-compulsive criminal profiler traumatized by his journeys inside Storm's mind, and Jeff McSwirley, a crackerjack reporter who regularly vomits and sobs when interviewing survivors of crimes. While Dorsey delivers less-incisive satire than does his fellow-Floridian Carl Hiaasen, he does have his moments, particularly when targeting the media. The title refers to Coleman's cocktail of choice, a noxious blend of Red Bull, Everclear, exotic fruit juices, and liqueurs. Clearly an acquired taste. And, like Dorsey's novels, perhaps too potent for some.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2007, American Library Association.)
