In Flying Dutch, we learn of the amazing problems drinking can get you into. One little swig from the wrong bottle, and you go from being an ordinary Dutch sea captain to an unhappy immortal, drifting around the world with your similarly immortal crew, suffering from peculiarly whiffy side effects. Little does Cornelius Vanderdecker, the Flying Dutchman, suspect that a chance encounter in an English pub might just lead to the end of his cursed life, one way or another. In Faust Among Equals, the management buy-out of Hell wasn’t going quite as planned. For a start, there had been that nasty business with the perjurers, and then came the news that the Most Wanted Man in History had escaped, and all just as the plans for the new theme park, Eurobosch, were underway. But Kurt “Mad Dog”Lundqvist, the foremost bounty hunter of all time, is on the case, and he can usually be relied on to get his man—even when that man is Lucky George Faustus.

A good bit of puzzling whether you've accidentally skipped a page or two. (This makes no sense; How did they get here? Did I miss a page? No, apparently not. Hmmm. ) A good book for summer reading ... Read More Rating - Nuggets from the golden age of Holt I'm glad to see thse two books back in print, even if they're now printed in one book. (UK readers may see the same two books collected as "Dead Funny," with a different cover but the same ISBN.) They're two of Holt's best, dating back to the early 1990s.
