Goliath

Some would call it a searing expose of the seamy underside of the streetcorner charcoal vending industry. Others would call it a no-holds-barred look at the shadowy world of those who sniff diuretic paint thinner.

What I call it, and I think you'll agree, is a fun little story built upon bizarre coincidences and people running off half-cocked after leaping to hasty conclusions, set in a world in which gravity is a public utility and the basic unit of currency is the "handful of money." If you want more than that, let's say it's a story about trust and bravery. Let's say it's an inspirational story that illustrates how love can conquer all. Let's say it's a cautionary tale about the consequences of trying to impress a girl by giving her an air compressor.

Follow the adventures of little Goliath and his friends Dexter Kroger, Miss Cranberry and Billy-Bob Kierkegaard as they work to foil the plot of the evil Neuralgia Sisters to achieve World Domination. Do they succeed? You'll have to read the book to find out.
