"A little James Bond, a little Wes Anderson, and a lot of fun. Readers will love the larger-than-life characters and the offbeat jokes, brought to life in cool tones with pops of warmer hues, especially orange. Anyone seeking a creative storyline and droll humor should look no further. Quirky, inspired fun."
