New York: Avon, May 1998. Mass Market Paperback. First Paperback Edition / full number line. Good+. Damp stain to first few pages. Text unmarked. Spine straight, tight and lightly creased. Covers clean and bright. Corners sharp. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. 303 pages. A delightfully offbeat look at cargo cults, religious zeal, and pyramid schemes. The bumbling hero is Tucker Case - a hopeless geek trapped in a cool guy's body - who makes a living as a pilot for the Mary Jean Cosmetics Corporation. But when he demolishes his boss's pink plane during a drunken airborne liaison, Tuck must run for his life from Mary Jean's goons.
