SynopsisIranian president Akhmed teams up with the leaders of Venezuela and Cuba and their American intelligence agents to smuggle radioactive matzo balls into Miami Beach. But intelligence being as slippery a concept to these nincompoops as chicken fat on linoleum, when each member of the gang decides to ladle out his own personal nuke soup, holy terror Akhmed is left steaming. Will his plan to destroy America float like a fly or sink like a lead dumpling? Star-crossed lovers, conniving academics, and blustery social climbers collide with ravenous termites, international do-badders, and multi-level marketing in a plot as fast-paced and hilarious as a runaway mountain bus. Radioactivity has never been so much fun., A novel of international intrigue, pork-crazed termites, and motherhood. An irreverently hilarious novel about a bumbling cabal of international terrorists scheming to destroy America by smuggling nuclear matzo balls into the Port of Miami--only to utterly bungle their "can't fail" mission and wind up with a "taste" of their own WMD.
